Citadel resolves spat with JP Morgan

Monday, September 22, 2008 : Permalink

JP Morgan Chase & Co and Citadel Investment Group resumed trading with each other on Friday, one day after the bank had cut off the hedge fund over a hiring dispute, a person familiar with the matter said.

"The dispute has been resolved," a person familiar with the hedge fund said on Friday.

Citadel’s officials could not be reached for comment at the office.

Citadel, one of the world’s largest hedge fund firms with roughly $20 billion in assets, clashed with JP Morgan because it had hired a string of executives from America’s second largest bank this year, people familiar with the matter said.

They said JP Morgan told employees to stop trading stocks, bonds and currencies with Citadel on Thursday morning, essentially prohibiting anyone from buying or selling with the hedge fund.

By Friday, the differences had been resolved and business was back to normal, the person said.

Thursday, June 19, 2008 : Permalink

Forbes- Four hedge funds that own shares in Jelmoli Holding AG. have failed to win over investors at a vote over a proposed stock split and a special dividend at the Swiss retail and real estate companies.

The four funds Franklin Mutual, Fortelus, Sandelman und Obrem had filed a motion at Wednesday’s annual general meeting for a 5 to 1 split of the bearer shares and an extraordinary dividend of 115 Swiss francs, which would have resulted in owners of bearer shares losing voting power to holders of registered shares.

Investor Georg von Opel, who owns 25.2 percent of Jelmoli’s share capital but 52.9 percent of the voting rights, opposed the plans.
