A $300 million Japanese hedge fund Eifuku Master Fund, run by a former Lehman Brothers Tokyo-based trader, is being closed after losing almost all its capital in just seven trading days in early January, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.
While the fund's actual capital was down to almost nothing as of January 15, it still had long positions valued at $80 million and short positions at $117 million. George Soros is among those who invested in. Soros gave John Koonmen, the investment manager of Eifuku, much of his starting capital several years ago, the journal said. Other investors included managing directors of Wall Street firms as well as other prominent hedge fund managers.
