Bloomberg – Edgebell Capital Co., run by former bankers at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Mizuho Corporate Bank Ltd., aims to start a global macro hedge fund in February that will wager on trends in stocks, bonds and currencies.
The Edgebell Capital Global Macro Strategy plans to start with at least 2 billion yen ($26 million) raised from high-net- worth individuals in Japan, said Masaru Koibuchi, chief investment officer of the Tokyo-based firm. Koibuchi and Chief Operating Officer Kazuho Suzuki are making the strategy available to outside investors by setting up an offshore fund after only offering it to domestic individuals, they said.
