High-profile activist investor Elliott Management is shutting up shop in Asia, according to reports, as the hedge fund's London office prepares to take more control of its investments in the region.

Having shut its Hong Kong office last year and moved staff to Japan and the UK, the decision to axe its Tokyo base as well means Elliott's final outpost in Asia will close, and London will lead all of its new and existing campaigns.
