Bloomberg – Rory Dickson, previously a research head at Arisaig Partners, and Damian Kestel, formerly of CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets, have teamed up with Coupland Cardiff Asset Management to start an Asian consumer-related fund.
The managers’ CC Asian Evolution Fund, which will invest in small and medium-capitalized stocks, will start trading on Dec. 1, Dickson, who is based in Singapore, said in an interview today. Coupland Cardiff, a London-based hedge fund firm focusing on Asian investments, managed $600 million as of Sept. 1, according to the fund’s marketing document.
