Investors Continue to Flee Och-Ziff

January 5, 2017

                They say, 'Reputation is Everything.'

 

That may explain what's happening to Och-Ziff Capital Management. After paying $413 million to settle U.S. criminal and civil bribery charges late last year, investors pulled $3.6 billion from the fund manager in December.  That brings full-year redemptions to an estimated $9.4 billion - just short of the $9.9 billion investors pulled from Och-Ziff in 2009, following the financial crisis.

 

September 2016 Bribery Settlement.    In September, the now-$33.5 billion hedge fund agreed to pay $200 million to the SEC and $213 million to the Justice Department to settle charges that it paid bribes to African officials - including the son of deceased Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi - to win business in the region.
