Sloane Robinson cemented its position as one of London’s most successful asset managers last year as the hedge fund reported that profits had risen by two-thirds to £340m in the 12 months to March 31, well above traditional fund managers that are far larger.

In accounts filed at Companies House, the privately owned Sloane Robinson partnership said 14 partners would share the profits, with the highest earner taking home £87.3m, up from £51.4m the year before.
