Solel Partners, the hedge fund started by former Highfields Capital Management partners, began trading this week with $600 million, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Money managers Craig Peskin and Peter Fleiss count Highfields founder Jon Jacobson among their investors, as well as foundations, endowments and other high-net-worth individuals, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the matter is private. The value-oriented credit and equity fund started trading Tuesday from Boston.
