Crispin Odey s hedge fund takes short position against Deliveroo
A series of major investors chose to publicly sit out Deliveroo s float
22 April 2021 • 2:10pm
A hedge fund that is part of Crispin Odey’s investment empire has revealed it took a short position against Deliveroo, the first sign that short-sellers are targeting the company following its disastrous float last month.
James Hanbury and Jamie Grimston of Brook Asset Management, part of the Odey Asset Management group, took out the short position on March 31 when Deliveroo went public in London, according to the Financial Times.
Deliveroo’s market debut was one of the worst on record for the City as the company’s share price fell more than 25pc, wiping £2bn off its valuation.

The past two years have not been kind to Clint Carlson‘s hedge fund manager.
Carlson Capital has seen its assets fall by billions while investing talent keeps heading out the door. The latest investor update the Dallas-based manager sent out, seen by Insider, shows the damage. Compared to the investor update the firm sent out on April 1, 2019, firm-wide assets have fallen nearly $3 billion from $7.7 billion to $4.8 billion. The drop has been most steep in the firm’s multi-strategy hedge funds, Black Diamond and Double Black Diamond.
Crispin Odey s hedge fund quietly rebrands funds amid ongoing sexual assault trail
Odey Asset Management has quietly rebranded seven of its funds ahead of tomorrow’s court date, which will see founder Crispin Odey take to the stand over sexual assault allegations.
Seven of the hedge fund’s 19 funds have changed their name from ‘Odey’ to ‘Brook’, referring to the new subsidiary business Brook Asset Management, industry magazine Portfolio Adviser first reported.
The rebranding reportedly took place in February, when Odey first appeared before Hendon Magistrates court over an alleged sexual assault that took place more than 20 years ago.
The London court heard Odey “lunged” at a junior woman in 1998 and groped her breast during the alleged assault.
