Diego Megia’s macro hedge fund, Taula Capital Management, has secured $1.75bn in additional capital from existing investors, increasing total assets to over $8.5bn, according to a report by Bloomberg citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter.
The latest inflow reflects growing investor confidence as the firm continues to build out its investment team, enhancing its capacity to deploy capital across markets. The London-based firm reportedly declined to comment on the fundraising.
Despite recent success in attracting capital, Taula has faced performance challenges amid heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which have driven volatility across interest rates, energy, and currency markets. The fund reportedly posted a decline of nearly 10% during the first part of March.
This marks the second occasion Taula has reopened to investors since its high-profile launch in mid-2024 with $5bn. It previously raised an additional $1bn before the end of its first year.
The firm has recently made a series of senior hires to support its expansion. Reza Moghadam has joined as chief economic adviser, bringing experience from Millennium Capital Partners, Morgan Stanley, and a long tenure at the International Monetary Fund. The firm has also added Michel Kikano as a commodities-focused portfolio manager and Cedric Choffat to trade equities.
Other notable additions include Greg Knight, Richard Hughes, and Alfredo Saitta, further strengthening Taula’s senior bench.
Prior to founding Taula, Megia held roles at Millennium and Citadel, where he focused on building and leading global government bond trading operations. At Taula, his investment approach centres on macro strategies, fixed-income relative value, and inflation-linked trades, with recent hires broadening the fund’s capabilities into commodities and equities.
