East Lodge has launched the East Lodge Capital Credit Opportunities Fund and is targeting assets under management of $250 million within three months, a source close to the company added.

Lumsden previously managed $3.2 billion for hedge fund CQS, with a focus on asset-backed securities.

Estimated performance during April, when the fund used just internal money, was 4.27 percent, the investor letter showed.
