Atticus Capital
Atticus Capital was a Wall Street hedge fund. It was founded by Nathaniel Rothschild and Timothy Barakett in 1995.[1]
History[edit]
Atticus helped to stop the Deutsche Börse from taking over the London Stock Exchange.[1]
Atticus was instrumental in the merger of Arcelor with Mittal Steel.[1]
Atticus, from a minority shareholder position, successfully prevented Phelps Dodge from merging with INCO Ltd in 2006 because it insisted on a share buy-back scheme rather than the merger investment.[1]
In 2006, Atticus was rumoured to have $10 billion under administration.[1]
Before it was wound down in 2010, Atticus was rumoured to have $20 billion under administration.[2]
