Jupiter Asset Management has just launched its third hedge fund, Jupiter Europa Hedge Fund. Stephen Pearson, lured from Sloane Robinson in July 2001, will run the new pan-European long/short equity fund, which will use Deutsche Bank as prime broker.

Many of the traditional asset managers entering the hedge fund arena have an edge on stock-picking-related strategies. This is why the firms are typically launching long/short equity products.
