JPMorgan star trader set to start hedge fund: report

(Reuters) - A team of top proprietary traders at JPMorgan Chase & Co is set to launch what is likely to be one of the largest hedge fund start-ups in 2012, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.

London-based Mike Stewart, JPMorgan's global head of proprietary trading and former head of emerging markets, is expected to start his own hedge fund, Whard Stewart, in the second quarter, the FT cited people familiar with his plans as saying.

Stewart's emerging-markets trading team at the bank is expected to join him, the newspaper said.

JPMorgan had chosen Stewart to head a new Alternatives Unit within the bank's asset management business. Fifty traders from JPMorgan's three major proprietary operations were set to move to the unit as the operations faced closure because of the Volcker rule, the FT said.

U.S. regulators have said the Volcker rule, which cracks down on banks trading with their own money, is unlikely to be finalized by a July deadline, but the threat of its implementation has encouraged some proprietary traders to set up their own funds.

JPMorgan's global head of equity proprietary trading, Deepak Gulati, is now considering setting up his own fund, the paper cited people with knowledge of his thinking as saying.

Gulati was expected to move into JPMorgan's asset management business with his team later in the year and officially his plans have not changed, the FT said.

The report added that Stewart is understood to be leaving JPMorgan on amicable terms but the bank will not invest in his new fund.

JPMorgan was not immediately available for comment.

A similar high-profile Volcker-rule-related spin-out was conducted in 2010 by two prominent proprietary traders at Goldman Sachs , Pierre-Henri Flamand and Morgan Sze, who raised $1 billion each, the Financial Times said.

Schedule set for naming witnesses in AT&T-U.S. trial

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A special master overseeing the Justice Department's effort to stop AT&T from buying rival T-Mobile USA has issued a schedule for lists of trial witnesses to be drawn up, according to court papers.

AT&T Inc previously complained that the Justice Department was taking too much time in naming its witnesses as the government seeks to block the telecommunications giant's $39 billion acquisition of T-Mobile USA from Deutsche Telekom AG.

"The math on the number of possible depositions and the looming February 13 trial date raise very serious concerns," the special master, Richard Levie, said in an order issued on Sunday.

Levie has been asked by Judge Ellen Huvelle to aid in management of the Justice Department's lawsuit, which was filed August 31.

The government will have to name up to 18 potential witnesses on November 16, with additional witnesses named on December 5 and Jan 6. AT&T will name up to 18 witnesses on November 23, with additional witnesses named on December 12 and January 6, according to Levie's schedule.

Each side will be allowed about 35 witnesses. The trial begins February 13.

Acquiring T-Mobile would vault No. 2 ranked AT&T into the leading position in the U.S. wireless market. The current industry leader is Verizon Wireless, a venture of Verizon Communications Inc and Vodafone Group Plc.

Sprint Nextel, the No. 3 U.S. carrier, and another competitor have also sued to stop AT&T's acquisition of T-Mobile, the No. 4 U.S. operator.

In addition to concerns about market concentration, the government believes the loss of T-Mobile could push up wireless prices since T-Mobile generally costs less than other carriers.

AT&T argues the deal will accelerate its expansion of high-speed wireless service to nearly all Americans.

The Justice Department had no comment on Levie's order. AT&T did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The cases are USA v. AT&T, T-Mobile USA Inc and Deutsche Telekom AG, case No. 11-1560; Sprint Nextel Corp v. AT&T Inc et al, No. 11-1600; and Cellular South v. AT ...
