The fund also announced the appointment of the former Labour Party fundraiser Lord Levy as chairman. <\/p>\n<p>The London-based trading group said Mr Fink will assume responsibility for the operational management of the business to build a significant hedge fund presence, while both will use their extensive network of wealthy contacts to boost the fund&#8217;s assets under management. <\/p>\n<p>International Standard Fund was set up by the former Merrill Lynch gold trader Roy Sher, a friend of Mr Fink, in 2003, and is mainly backed by private investors. Mr Sher said the big-name appointments should help the firm to win market mandates ahead of its hedge fund rivals.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hedgeco.net\/news\/news_land.php?i=http:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/business\/news\/trailblazer-fink-returns-to-head-163200m-hedge-fund-930997.html\">Read Complete Article<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Independent &#8211; Stanley Fink, the so-called godfather of UK hedge funds, has made a dramatic return to the industry after retiring from Man Group, the largest alternatives manager in the world, only two months ago.
