"The transaction further aligns the interests of our partnership, and more broadly the firm, with those of our clients. Goldman’s stake is a passive minority interest that does not carry with it any investment management or board representation rights," Caxton added.

Caxton’s has signed a deal with Petershill based on the performance of its fund. Caxton has seen the performance of its fund fall by 2% through the end of September.

Launched in early 2014, Petershill II plans to take equity stakes in established hedge funds with a strong track record.

The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
