Goldman Sachs Investment Partners, set up to allow clients to invest with some of the bank’s top proprietary traders, is raising capital for a new Asian fund, said two people with knowledge of the matter.
The fund, named Oryza Capital, started early this month, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the information is private. It is overseen by a team led by Hideki Kinuhata in Tokyo and Hong Kong-based Ryan Thall, said the people, who didn’t disclose how much money the fund is seeking to gather. Kinuhata and Thall didn’t reply to e-mails seeking comment on the new fund. Connie Ling, a Hong Kong-based spokeswoman at Goldman Sachs Group Inc., declined to comment.
