City Wire – Thames River Capital has launched an emerging markets long/short hedge fund for former Griffin hedge fund manager Kristof Bulkai, after Nevsky duo Martin Taylor and Nick Barnes stepped down from their own hedge fund.
The firm has decided to rename the Nevsky Emerging Markets hedge fund the Thames River Isis fund, and has seeded it with £90 million remaining from the former Nevsky portfolio, run by Taylor and Barnes. It is understood that Thames River chief Charlie Porter has also personally provided some seed capital for the new strategy.
