  "account": "Hedge fund manager DLD Asset Management is expanding its operations in Hong Kong by hiring Sohit Khurana, co-founder of Maso Capital Partners. The move is part of DLD's strategy to broaden its relative-value trading activities across Asia. Khurana, who co-founded Maso in 2012 with Manoj Jain, brings his expertise in convertible-bond arbitrage and event-driven investing to the DLD team. The decision reflects the growing appeal of Hong Kong as a base for international hedge funds, driven by political stability, proposed tax incentives for carried interest income, and the presence of competitive hubs like Singapore. Other firms, including Tudor Investment Corp and Graham Capital Management, have also established a presence in Hong Kong to cater to the expanding demand for alternative investments in the region.",
  "summary": "DLD Asset Management, a US hedge fund manager, is expanding its operations into Hong Kong by hiring Sohit Khurana, co-founder of Maso Capital Partners, as its first senior recruit in the city. The move aims to strengthen DLD's relative-value trading activities across Asia, capitalizing on Hong Kong's growing appeal as a base for international hedge funds. Khurana's background in convertible-bond arbitrage and event-driven investments aligns with DLD's strategy, which involves allocating capital across various portfolio managers pursuing diverse opportunities.",
