Hedge fund tycoon Crispin Odey's firm Odey Asset Management has taken out �short� position, which is essentially a gamble that the share price will fall, implying that he expects a poor performance from ITV. Odey has staked a �47 million bet. Odey made a fortune from the credit crunch by betting against doomed banks. A year before the problems started appearing, he spotted cracks in the system and made bets that bank shares would fall.

Success should always be rewarded, but the suspicion remains that the current balance between the interests of the supplier (investment manager) and buyer (investor) is hugely skewed in favour of the former. Invesco Perpetual Enhanced Income managers have resigned in a fit of pique after refusing to take a reduction in the fees it draws from the �149 million trust. the rewards Invesco has drawn from the pot are considerable. In the latest accounts to the end of September last year, Invesco earned fees totalling �2,036,000 � comprising a management charge and a performance fee. In percentage terms, the trust�s ongoing charge for the financial year was 1.22 per cent (0.93 per cent of which went to Invesco) and the performance fee was 0.93 per cent. In other words, Invesco earned charges totalling 1.86 per cent. Excessive on any level. A proposal to remove the performance fee and move towards a new management fee of 0.77 per cent was agreed in April and that's when the managers resigned. Invesco has now put a spanner in the works by demanding a general meeting of the trust at which a vote will be held calling for Adamson and fellow director Richard Williams to be replaced. It is putting its financial interests above those of shareholders. Bang out of order.

Henri Lloyd�s clothes were sold in House of Fraser who announced closure of 31 stores. Henri Lloyd is the latest High Street retailer to go bust. The sailing fashion retailer, which was founded in Manchester in 1963 and counts the Duchess of Cambridge among its fans, has seven stores around the UK. These closures should help Debenhams, they just need a bigger online presence.

Other Telecom related people such as Dutchman Olaf Swantee, who runs Swiss digital firm Sunrise, but has previously run mobile firm EE before it was sold to BT. Another choice is Ronan Dunne, who once ran O2 and is now the European chief of US internet firm Verizon or Jeremy Darroch, boss of Sky, and Vittorio Colao, who recently quit as chief of Vodafone. How about someone completely different Liv Garfield, the boss of Severn Trent Water, she is an expert on infrastructure having previously led BT's cables division Openreach ?

Last week Brookdale International Partners purchase 6% of the shares. Sherborne holds a 30% stake in Electra Private Equity. New York-based activist Edward Bramson described as �pond scum� also owns 5% of Barclays Bank. Bramson has bought stakes in a series of British companies in the past 15 years and has reaped returns averaging 22.8% a year. He typically does so by buying a sizeable stake, demanding a seat on the board and then pushing for cost cuts, payouts to shareholders and other changes that boost returns. Bramson was born and grew up in England. His mother was British and his father American.Sherborne describes itself as a �turnaround investment firm�. Other more blunt descriptions for activist investors like Bramson include �corporate raider� and �asset stripper�. Bramson mostly notably took control of Electra Private Equity, battled his way onto the board, cut costs and sold off various assets to raise �1.35bn for shareholders. Bramson previously staged coups at F&C Asset Management, chemicals firm Elementis and telecoms business Spirent Communications.
