Rokos Capital Management, the hedge fund firm founded by macro trader Chris Rokos in 2015, is looking to increase its asset base and is reportedly in talks with investors over raising up to $2bn in additional funds, according to a report by Bloomberg.
The report cites a person familiar with the matter as confirming the plans and revealing that part of the asset growth may also come from performance gains.
Since launch, the firm has periodically turned to investors for new cash and has grown into one of the world’s largest macro trading hedge funds with $16bn in assets. The firm recorded a full-year gain of 8.8% for 2023, having suffered losses earlier in the year.
Last year, Rokos Capital also launched its first separate money pool to co-invest in macro trading, having raised $300m from an investment client.
