Reuters – CQS founder Michael Hintze, one of Europe’s most influential hedge fund managers, has warned that France’s struggling economy could present a “major pothole” for investors in 2014.
Hintze, whose firm manages around $12 billion and who was one of the world’s top-performing hedge fund managers last year, painted a picture of a “pretty benign world” for investors and a recovery in Europe’s peripheral economies next year, but picked out France as a concern.
