DESCRIPTION:

Date updated:02-02-2009

The London based fund was launched in January of 2004 by Christopher Hohn. According to several reports in 2006, the fund had $5.4 billion under management, and is unique in that a significant portion of all fees earned are donated to a charitable trust.

Hohn, who left Perry Capital to start TCIF, is known to make very concentrated bets with an activist bent . In 2005, via its large share of Deutsche Borse, TCIF forced the resignation of the exchanges CEO after he refused to abandon his plan to takeover the London Stock Exchange. In 2006 the firm had a large position in the European Euronext exchange, but was reported to sell a large chunk of its position due to rumors that Euronext was persuing a merger with the NYSE, as opposed to Deutsche Boerse.
