Reuters – Alp Ercil, a former regional head of New York-based hedge fund Perry Capital LLC, won $1.1 billion of investor commitments for his second Asia distressed-assets fund, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.
ARCM Master Fund II will focus on three- to five-year investments in credit and equity securities, said the people who asked not to be identified because the information is private.
