FALLING STARWhen Odey set up Odey Asset Management, it was in the afterglow of then British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's deregulation of the stock market in London's 1986 "Big Bang". Privately educated at the elite Harrow school, Odey left Oxford University and began his career in traditional asset management before launching Odey Asset Management. But fund performance at Odey Asset Management has been a rollercoaster, with Odey renowned for taking risks. He liked to say leverage was like a drug - once you experienced it, you could never live without it, one hedge fund manager said. Lawmakers on Britain's Treasury Select Committee have written to the FCA to question the regulator's supervision of Odey Asset Management and Odey.

London (CNN Business) For years, the climate for hedge funds was tough. That's boosting interest in hedge funds, through which professional investors try to beat the market by deploying less-conventional approaches. Investors trying to capitalize on turmoil in commodity markets have done particularly well, according to Robert Sears, chief investment officer at Capital Generation Partners, which invests in hedge funds for wealthy families. "Until we get into the cycle of earnings going down and the Federal Reserve starting to ease policy, really you're set for an environment when hedge funds should do quite well," Sears told me. Investors see an 80% probability that the Fed will hike interest rates by three-quarters of a percentage point on Wednesday.
