Profits at the hedge fund co-founded by the GB News and Spectator owner Sir Paul Marshall plunged by almost two-thirds last year, resulting in significantly reduced payouts for its partners.

Marshall Wace, one of London's most successful hedge funds, has declared profits of £192m in the year to the end of February 2024, a sharp fall of 64% compared with £538m the previous year.

Marshall Wace was founded in 1997 by Marshall and Ian Wace and manages more than $71bn (£57bn) in funds, making it one of the largest of its kind in the world.

Last year, Marshall sealed a £100m takeover of the Spectator magazine, adding to a media empire that includes backing the GB News TV channel and the UnHerd website.
