Bloomberg – Village Capital Pte, run by a former manager at Tiedemann Investment Group, is seeking to raise 10 billion yen ($94 million) by the end of 2015 for a new Japan-focused hedge fund that will be run out of Singapore.
Toshiya Kimura, who previously managed a Japan long-short fund as an associate portfolio manager at New York-based Tiedemann Investment, and Ichiro Takamatsu, a former hedge-fund manager in Japan, began Suzaku Japan Long Short Fund this month with initial capital of 4 billion yen, Takamatsu said. The Singapore-based firm plans to target institutional investors in Japan and abroad, he said.
