Top L/S Equity Funds in London (or Europe for that matter)

hi peps,

apologies if this topic has already been covered in previous posts.

I am familiar with the PE landscape in London however if I was to name L/S equity funds beyond the large American platforms (i.e. Citadel, P72, DE Shaw) I would not know where to start.

I did hear some great things about a fund called NAYA, run by an ex partner of The Childrens Investment Fund.

Global funds: Egerton, Lansdowne, TCI, Theleme, AKO's Global Fund.

European focused funds: Adelphi, AKO's Europe fund, Ennismore, Gladstone, Hengistbury, Kairos, Marshall Wace, Pelham, TT.

There are also a number of ZBI related entities in Europe such as Thunderbird, Immersion and Fosse.

You also have some fairly large hedge fund operations in London within Blackrock, Janus Henderson, Pictet and others. The Blackrock UK and European L/S platform is substantial.
