(Reuters) London-based hedge fund firm Westbeck Capital hopes to get full regulatory clearance for its energy fund in September and is targeting $100 million in assets by year-end, a source close to the company said on Monday.
Set up by ex-CQS Asset Management portfolio manager Will Smith and Jean-Louis Le Mee, previously of BlueGold Capital, and Jon Mellberg, former head of Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co, the firm’s Westbeck Energy Opportunity Fund launched in June.
