The $22.6 billion hedge fund Marshall Wace took up more office space in London than any other alternative investment firm in a busy year for new take-up in 2015 – though there are signs demand is slowing.

Marshall Wace leased 43,031 square feet at 131 Sloane Street, according to an April 14 report from real estate firm Cushman & Wakefield. The hedge fund will move into the premises from its current home in Charing Cross later in 2016.
