What they invest in

Odey Asset Management is a London-based investment firm founded in 1991 by Crispin Odey. The company specializes in hedge fund management, offering a range of investment strategies across equities, fixed income, and multi-asset portfolios. Odey Asset Management has been known for its contrarian investment approach and high-profile bets, particularly during periods of market volatility. In recent years, the firm has faced significant challenges, including client withdrawals and reputational issues following allegations of misconduct against its founder, leading to a restructuring of its business and leadership. The firm remains a notable name in the European asset management industry, though its market presence has diminished amid ongoing scrutiny and operational changes.

Why this firm matters for fundraising founders

Odey Asset Management writes first institutional checks where the founder + early product matter more than traction.
