Robin Crispin William Odey (born January 1959)[2][3] is a British hedge fund manager and founder of Odey Asset Management. According to Bloomberg in November 2017, he is "known for his bearish outlook" on the markets.[4]
In June 2023, the Financial Times published an investigative report on Odey which alleged that he had sexually harassed or assaulted 13 women over the course of 25 years.[5][6] Odey Asset Management announced shortly afterwards that Odey would be leaving the firm.[7] Investors soon started pulling their money from the firm following the report, prompting it to suspend withdrawals.[8] In late June 2023 the company suspended flagship hedge funds, and it was speculated that it might break up.[9]
