Steven A Cohen, the former head of hedge fund SAC Capital, is eyeing a new $20bn fund when a ban on him managing third-party money lifts next year, writes Rob Copeland for The Wall Street Journal.

Cohen, who now runs Point72 Asset Management, has been in discussions with bankers and potential investors about the fund, which would comfortably top the $16bn once managed by SAC at its peak.
