Boaz Weinstein, the hedge fund investor on the winning side of JPMorgan Chase's $6.2 billion, "London Whale" trading loss in 2011, is now taking on index fund giant BlackRock . The hedge fund wants board control at three BlackRock funds and a minority slate at seven others. BlackRock, Saba says in the deck, "considers itself a leader in governance, but is crushing shareholder rights." At certain BlackRock funds, for example, if an investor doesn't submit their vote in a shareholder meeting, their shares will automatically go to support BlackRock. The index fund manager's rebuttal, "Defend Your Fund," describes Saba as an activist hedge fund seeking to "enrich itself."

The group, called Bidder J, which includes Bill Ackman, Marc Lasry and Jeff Yass, as well as Weinstein, made the offer for Sculptor last month. Sculptor Capital Management and Weinstein's Saba Capital Management didn't immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment on Wednesday. Sculptor chose to stay with Rithm's $11.15 per share bid, saying the Bidder J offer had "significantly less certainty of closing."

REUTERS/Richard BrianLONDON, March 20 (Reuters) - Hedge fund manager Boaz Weinstein pinned hopes on Credit Suisse's survival, but also money on its demise. At the time Weinstein told Reuters he thought the derivatives were mis-priced because he believed Credit Suisse's problems would be resolved, either way, more quickly. As the trade is both long and short, Weinstein stands to profit from the short leg of his trade much more than he will lose from the long side. Weinstein led a proprietary trading fund at Deutsche Bank which was spun out to start Saba Capital Management in 2009.
