Cantillon To Launch International Equity Funds

by Carla Johnson, Investors Offshore.com, London

27 August 2003

New York-based hedge fund manager Cantillon Capital Management expects to attract about $650 million for a European equity fund and a similar amount for a global stock fund. The European fund will start trading in September, and the global fund a month later. Minimum investment in either fund is US$ 1m.

Cantillon is named after Richard de Cantillon, who introduced the term "entrepreneur" two centuries ago, when he identified risk bearing as the primary role of entrepreneurs.

The firm was started by Lazard alumnus William von Mueffling, who is Managing Partner and CIO, and has offices in New York and London. At Lazard, Mr von Mueffling managed the firm's European Opportunities and Lazard Worldwide Opportunities hedge funds, and is credited with originating Lazard's alternative investment management business. Cantillon's New York operation recently signed a lease with the Lefrak Organization for a major part of the 24th floor of 40 W. 57th St.
