王先生曾是红杉资本的明星股票分析师，他为自己的新科技主题股权对冲基金筹集了超过10亿美元，这一成就凸显了在资金募集普遍困难的市场环境下，该策略的受欢迎程度。
Wang, a former star stock-picker at Sequoia Capital, raised more than $1 billion for his new technology-focused equity hedge fund, highlighting the strategy’s popularity in an otherwise dismal year for raising money.
据熟悉该公司的人士透露，他的Agnition Global Investors基金本月开始交易，初始资金至少为5.7亿美元；其余的资金将逐步从客户处募集。文件中显示，这5.7亿美元中有约45%是内部资金。Agnition的代表拒绝置评。
His Augnition Global Investors began trading this month with at least $570 million, according to people familiar with the firm and a Sept. 30 regulatory filing. The rest of the committed capital will be drawn from clients over time, one of the people said. About 45% of the $570 million disclosed in the filing is internal capital. A representative for Augnition declined to comment.
今年对整个行业来说都是资金募集最为艰难的年份之一，因为大型机构正在挤压小型企业。

The only other startup that surpassed $1 billion was technology focused NX1 Capital, founded by former Coatue Management stock-picker Daniel Senft. That firm collected $2.5 billion when it launched in January.
根据王先生的LinkedIn资料，Agnition将投资于公开和私有的科技公司。
Augnition will back public and private technology companies, according to Wang’s LinkedIn profile.

Part of the initial fundraising was $25 million for a vehicle investing in cybersecurity firm Cyera, according to the filing. Wang, 47, parlayed his strong track record at Sequoia to sell backers on Augnition.
他在红杉资本领导全球股票业务期间，该业务实现了17%的年化回报率，资产规模从6亿美元增长到了90亿美元。
During the decade he led Sequoia’s global equities business, it had delivered a 17% annualized return and assets swelled to $9 billion from $600 million, he wrote in a LinkedIn post last year.
