Louis Bacon to close New York-based Moore Capital hedge fund: FT

(Reuters) – Veteran U.S. money manager Louis Bacon plans to close his New York-based hedge fund Moore Capital Management and return capital to investors, the Financial Times reported https://www.ft.com/content/7a50fe7a-0c55-11ea-bb52-34c8d9dc6d84 on Thursday citing people familiar with the situation.

The FT report said the decision to shut the fund after three decades follows years of weak performance at Moore’s hedge funds.

Both Bacon and Moore Capital did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for a comment on the news article outside of business hours.
