Hedge funds cash out of Bigtincan, their ‘single worst’ investment
Tess BennettTechnology reporter
Silicon Valley hedge fund SQN Investors said its investment in Bigtincan was its worst after the ASX-listed sales software firm accepted a private equity buyout proposal valuing it at just $183 million.
SQN Investors bought into the company at 80¢ per share. On Friday, the fund and Philip King’s Regal Partners, which together control about 30 per cent of Bigtincan, agreed to sell to Vector Capital for 22¢ per share.
