Odey Asset Management

Global macro funds could receive a performance boost following a difficult year, as divergent central bank policies create a favourable environment for top-down investing, according to GAM's Charles Hepworth.

Former Odey chief executive David Stewart has joined the board of Hargreave Hale as a non-executive director.

Major Sports Direct shareholder Crispin Odey has criticised the FTSE 100 firm's 14-month delay in appointing a finance director as a "big concern".

Top-performing European equity manager Oliver Kelton is to join Odey Asset Management.

Hedge fund manager Crispin Odey netted a pay packet of £47.8m in the year to April 2014 after his boutique more than trebled profits.

As the latest figures from the IMA show Absolute Return funds have seen their highest retail sales for over four years, Standard Life Investments' phenomenally successful GARS fund is starting to face more competition from peers.

Crispin Odey has taken out a short position on Manchester United as the team has its worst start to a season for 12 years.

Ryan Hughes is planning to increase exposure to Europe in the Apollo multi-asset portfolios in one of his first asset allocation moves since joining the firm.

Charles Hepworth, investment director in charge of the DFM proposition at GAM, has revealed five new additions and fund switches in the group's model portfolios.

Odey Asset Management is to launch a European Absolute Return fund for manager Feras Al-Chalabi later this year.
