This is a horror story called “Closing the Gates.” But don’t worry, it can’t happen here, ummmmm, it’s different this time…… everything is fine……
“…the latest hedge fund to liquidate is London-based Warwick Capital, which was founded in 2010 by former Polygon executives ……… and which according to its website had $900 million in AUM [assets under management] most recently.”
“…"the fund’s remaining assets — encompassing debt and equity positions … are too illiquid to be sold right away."
Mark to market:
“The real problem is that Warwick Capital had marked these bonds at ridiculously high levels and had refused to mark them lower to follow the declining overall market. As a result, Warwick's LPs have been given flawed information about the true value of their holdings, which are based on bond prices which may never be seen again.”
