Reuters – Shares in BH Macro, a listed feeder fund to the Brevan Howard global macro fund, Europe’s biggest hedge fund with assets of $20 billion, have sunk to a 13 percent discount to net asset value as a wave of selling has swept through European financial markets.

The fund was down 2 percent at 1255 pence in afternoon trading. Earlier Tuesday, BH Macro reported in a regulatory filing that its NAV at the close of business on Oct 3 was 1411 pence per share.

"The whole sector has moved to quite considerable discounts," said Mark James, executive director at RBS. "BH Macro is trading on its widest ever discount."
