WSJ – A star mutual-fund manager is opening up his nascent hedge fund to institutional investors.
Bruce Berkowitz, the 55-year-old president of Fairholme Capital Management LLC, launched the fund on Jan. 1 and it has grown to $140 million, largely with money from Mr. Berkowitz and his employees. He is now seeking outside institutional investors and hopes the fund will grow to $1 billion in assets in a year.
