Hedge fund Tiger Asia to return investor money: report


    HONG KONG (Reuters) - New York-based hedge fund Tiger Asia Management LLC will return outside capital to investors by the end of the month amid a probe by Hong Kong regulators, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday, citing a letter to investors.

    Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission alleges that Tiger Asia was given advance notice by third parties of forthcoming share placements by China Construction Bank Corp <0939.HK> <601939.SS> and Bank of China Ltd <3988.HK> <601988.SS> and shorted shares in the stocks ahead of the placements being publicly announced.

    Tiger Asia, which has no presence in Hong Kong, could not be reached for comment.
