Nektar Asset Management is shutting down its money pool after its largest backer pulled out, adding to a growing list of hedge funds that have thrown in the towel.

Brummer & Partners, an investor since 2002, said it will cash out by the end of May because the Nektar Fund’s expected future return is no longer competitive.
