Man Group Backs Former Citadel Manager for New Japan Hedge Fund




Man Group Plc, the biggest publicly traded hedge fund manager, is backing a new Japan-focused hedge fund started by Toby Bartlett, a former manager at Citadel LLC and Highbridge Capital Management LLC, according to Bloomberg.

FRM Capital Advisors Ltd., under Man Group, will make an unspecified “significant investment” in the fund run by Hong Kong’s Arena Capital Management Ltd., the London-based provider of startup capital to hedge funds said in the e-mailed statement. The new fund bets on rising and falling Japanese stocks with a focus on domestic demand industries.

It will be FRM Capital Advisors’s first investment since its parent, London-based fund of hedge fund FRM Holdings Ltd., was acquired by Man in May
