Patrick Degorce’s Theleme Partners, which had already turned heads as one of the top hedge fund openings of 2009 with $200 million, has now raised $700 million, making it the largest equity hedge fund launch since the financial crisis. According to the Financial Times, Themele Partners has returned over 10% since its inception in February of this year, but the hedge fund has also garnered attention for its abandonment of the traditional “two and twenty” rule. Instead, Theleme Partners charges only performance-based incentive fees that apply for the duration of the investment. The hedge fund will soft-close when it reaches $1.2 billion.

Theleme Partners is a global long/short equity hedge fund was founded by Patrick Degorce, who was previously a co-founder and top strategist of the shareholder activist-focused Children’s Investment Fund. The firm operates on the platform of alternative fund manager Landsowne Partners.
