Bloomberg – John Ho, former Asia head of the Children’s Investment Fund Management UK LLP, raised more than $100 million from investors for his own hedge fund which bets on rising and falling stocks in the region.
Janchor Partners Pan Asian Fund started trading in January with about $40 million, mostly from U.S. university endowments and family offices, Hong Kong-based Ho, 34, said in an interview on July 2. It returned 9.9 percent after fees through June 30, against the estimated 2 percent loss of the Eurekahedge Asia Long/Short Equities Hedge Fund Index.
