MarketWatch reports that UK hedge fund Solent Capital is to wind down one of its funds, the Mainsail II fund, due to a downturn in the value of the asset-back securities it holds. The $1.5bn fund was launched last year.
Financial News reports that, according to invesors, Atticus Capital, the U.S. hedge fund manager known for helping unseat Deutsche Boerse's management a couple of years back, has reported a loss of more than 8% for the first 10 days of August. The firm has reported a net loss of 8.25% on the $9.1bn Atticus European fund from Aug. 1 through to Aug. 10.
Finally, Reuters reports that The Renaissance Institutional Equities Fund, which at one stage was 8.7% down in August, has recovered a lot of ground - it's now only 1.35 down for the month.
