Defo looks like some sort of corporate activity in the background.... Markets not helping otherwise this would have been up 10% on the news of 5% stake
hedge fund founded and controlled by an American billionaire has increased its stake in Asos, the online fashion retailer once fêted as a stock market star. Ken Griffin’s Citadel, which manages about $43 billion in assets and is one of the industry’s biggest players, has lifted its stake in the group to just above 5 per cent, according to a stock exchange filing.
Citadel has been investing in the business for some time through different financial instruments, but under stock exchange rules shareholders that accumulate a 5 per cent stake or more in a public company are required to disclose their position.
