The newly seeded fund is a Japanese event-driven fund managed by Stone Harbor Advisors LLC, Honolulu, Hawaii. Stone Harbor will use merger arbitrage, distressed securities investing, tactical trading and relative value strategies for the new fund, according to a statement from RMF. Mitchell B. Porten is Stone Harbor’s principal and investment manager.

RMF officials are anticipating a sizable launch for the fund but declined to provide specifics. Hedge Fund Ventures has assets of about US$500 million.
