Crispin Odey has kept a low public profile ever since fresh allegations of sexual misconduct prompted his exit last year from the namesake hedge fund he founded that is now winding down. A recent company filing suggests he harbors comeback hopes.

Odey Asset Management Group Ltd. said in its latest accounts, filed Feb. 28, that it “is currently exploring alternative business opportunities.” Odey, the sole signatory of the firm’s strategic report, is the only director of the entity, which previously oversaw his stakes in Odey Asset Management LLP and Odey Wealth Management (UK) Ltd., according to UK registry filings.
