Lehman Brothers is taking a new step into fund management through its backing of start-up firm Edgeworth Capital.

       
Wesley Paul

Edgeworth, led by Wesley Paul, ex-global head of investments at JPMorgan Asset Management, will focus on hedge funds for institutions and high-net-worth individuals.

Lehman is majority owner of Edgeworth and believes it can exploit a gap in the market. Paul says consolidation in the industry, together with market volatility, makes it a good time to launch the business.
