Hedge fund tycoon Crispin Odey, the outspoken Brexiteer accused of betting against Britain, saw his main fund slump in 2019 after his bets failed to pay off.
The investment grandee’s flagship European fund fell 10.1pc, according to performance data from the company which showed that his other funds also fell for the year – losses he blames partly on turbulence in Argentina.
Argentina’s currency, the peso, plunged 20pc in August following an election and potential change of government which sent shock waves through markets.
