Robin Crispin William Odey (born January 1959) is a British hedge fund manager and founder of Odey Asset Management.
In June 2023, the Financial Times published an investigative report which alleged that Odey had sexually harassed or assaulted 13 women over the course of 25 years. Odey denied the allegations. Odey Asset Management announced shortly afterwards that Odey would be leaving the firm. Investors soon started pulling their money from the firm following the report, prompting it to suspend withdrawals. In late June 2023 the company suspended flagship hedge funds, and it was speculated that it might break up. In March 2025, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) fined Crispin Odey £1.8 million and banned him from the UK financial services industry for a 'lack of integrity'. Odey intends to challenge the decision in the Upper Tribunal.
