- Eminence Capital is closing after 27 years, citing difficulties adapting to changing market conditions and disappointing returns.

This could indirectly affect market liquidity and asset allocation trends.
Investing.com -- Hedge fund Eminence Capital is shutting down and returning money to investors after 27 years of operation, founder Ricky Sandler announced in a letter, according to Bloomberg News.
Sandler cited challenges in applying the firm’s investment process to changing market conditions and evolving market structure as reasons for the closure.
"We believe that in recent years we have fallen short of our very high standard and your expectations," Sandler wrote in the letter.
The fund has delivered disappointing returns, and the costs of retaining talent and building necessary infrastructure made continuing operations too difficult, according to Sandler’s letter.
A representative for Eminence Capital declined to comment on the closure.
