Goldsmith’s green fund

BEN GOLDSMITH, son of the late entrepreneur Sir James Goldsmith, is behind an environmental sustainability fund launching this week. WHEB Asset Management has raised £10m from a small investor base, including the Goldsmith family, hedge fund manager Crispin Odey, and Aviva’s fund-management arm. Goldsmith, whose brother Zac advises the Tories on the green economy, hopes to grow the fund to £50m
