Crispin Odey

Hedge fund founder

Crispin Odey is a London-based hedge fund manager and founding partner of Odey Asset Management. He is generally known for his 'bearish outlook' on the markets.

Odey established Odey Asset Management in 1991 and ran the business until stepping down in November 2020. His net worth has been estimated at more than £1bn.

Before founding Odey, he managed the Baring European Growth Trust and Continental European pension funds at Barings Asset Management and Framlington Fund Managers. 

In July 2020, Odey was charged with indecent assault following allegations that he assaulted a woman at his Chelsea home in July 1998. He is currently standing trial for those charges, which he denies.
