One of the world’s most prominent hedge funds is sitting on a $500m profit after making a bet that Greece would not be forced to leave the eurozone, bucking the trend in a difficult year for the industry.

在押注于希腊不会被迫离开欧元区之后，一家世界知名对冲基金已获利5亿美元，创下对冲基金在近一年暗淡景气中少有的佳绩。

Third Point, headed by the billionaire US investor Dan Loeb, tendered the majority of a $1bn position in Greek government bonds, built up only months earlier, as part of a landmark debt buyback deal by Athens on Monday, according to people familiar with the firm.

熟悉对冲基金Third Point的人士指出，在希腊政府周一的大规模债务回购交易中，由美国投资人、亿万富翁丹·洛布(Dan Loeb)领导的这家基金，将几个月前刚刚建立的10亿美元希腊政府债券头寸中的大部分用于投标。

The windfall marks out the New York-based firm as one of the few hedge fund managers to have profited from the eurozone crisis. Standard and Poor’s, the rating agency, raised its assessment of Greece’s sovereign debt by several notches yesterday, citing the eurozone’s “strong determination to keep the country inside the common currency area.

这笔“飞来横财，使得这家总部位于纽约的对冲基金成为从欧元区危机中获益的少数几家对冲基金之一。昨天，评级机构标普(Standard and Poor's)将希腊的主权债务上调了几级，援引欧元区不让希腊离开的“坚定决心为调级原因。
