James Caird Asset Management LP, the London-based firm run by former Moore Capital Management LLC trader Tim Leslie, plans to liquidate a $1.6 billion credit hedge fund after eight years following losses in 2011.

“I have been frustrated by our performance during the current year,” Leslie, 45, wrote today in a client letter, a copy of which was obtained by Bloomberg News. He plans to start returning money to investors in the JCAM Global Fund in January.
