The U.S. dollar has strengthened roughly 6% against the offshore yuan so far this year and Chinese state banks have been seen selling dollars this week to stem the yuan fall.
The hedge fund held a short position in the offshore yuan , the Aug. 2 presentation shows.
The hedge fund, run by star manager Edouard de Langlade, was up about 8% this year, said the presentation.
