Soros closes hedge fund to outside investors |
索羅斯將結束基金經理生涯 向投資者返還資金 |
| George Soros, the legendary billionaire investor who broke the Bank of England in 1992, will close Soros Fund Management LLC and return capital to the fund's outside investors. | 以成功狙擊英國央行而聞名于世的億萬富翁投資者喬治-索羅斯(George Soros)將結束其四十多年的對沖基金經理生涯，他麾下的索羅斯基金管理公司(Soros Fund Management LLC)將向外部投資者返還資金。 |
| Citing new regulations that would require the fund to register with the SEC by March 2012 unless it operates as a family office, Soros' investment firm decided Tuesday to close the fund to outside investors. | 索羅斯之子在致投資者的信中表示，他們作出這一決定的原因在于根據最新的金融監管規定，索羅斯基金必須在2012年3月份以前向美國證券交易委員會(SEC)登記，否則就不能繼續為外部投資者管理資產。 |
| "We wish to express our gratitude to those who chose to invest their capital with SFM over the last nearly 40 years," Soros' sons Jonathan and Robert, deputy chairmen of the firm, said in a letter to investors. "We trust that you have felt well rewarded for your decision over time." | 兩人在信中表示：“我們希望向那些在過去將近40年時間里將其資本投資到索羅斯基金中的客戶們表示感謝。我們相信，從長期來看，這一決定已經為你們帶來了良好的回報。” |
| The letter also said chief executive investor Keith Anderson, who took the job in February 2008, will soon leave the company.. | 信件還稱，自2008年2月份以來一直擔任該基金首席投資官的凱斯-安德森(Keith Anderson)將會離職。 |
| Two people close to the issue said the investment firm is handing back no more than US$1 billion to investors and will thereafter focus solely on managing the assets of Soros and his family. | 兩名熟知內情的消息人士透露，索羅斯將在年底以前向外部投資者返還不到10億美元的資金。該基金將集中致力于僅為索羅斯及其家族管理資產。 |
| ?Soros said the move will enable him to spend more time on philanthropic and political work, to which he has donated more than US$8 billion over the past 30 years. | ?索羅斯此舉將使其從一名投機者轉變為一位慈善政治家。索羅斯在最近發表的一篇文章中稱，在過去30年時間里，他捐贈了80多億美元資金來促進民主、培育言論自由、改善教育和消滅全球范圍內的貧窮現象。 |
