| Citing new regulations that would require the fund to register with the SEC by March 2012 unless it operates as a family office, Soros' investment firm decided Tuesday to close the fund to outside investors. | 索羅斯之子在致投資者的信中表示，他們作出這一決定的原因在于根據(jù)最新的金融監(jiān)管規(guī)定，索羅斯基金必須在2012年3月份以前向美國(guó)證券交易委員會(huì)(SEC)登記，否則就不能繼續(xù)為外部投資者管理資產(chǎn)。 |

"We trust that you have felt well rewarded for your decision over time." | 兩人在信中表示：“我們希望向那些在過去將近40年時(shí)間里將其資本投資到索羅斯基金中的客戶們表示感謝。我們相信，從長(zhǎng)期來看，這一決定已經(jīng)為你們帶來了良好的回報(bào)。” |
| The letter also said chief executive investor Keith Anderson, who took the job in February 2008, will soon leave the company.. | 信件還稱，自2008年2月份以來一直擔(dān)任該基金首席投資官的凱斯-安德森(Keith Anderson)將會(huì)離職。 |
| Two people close to the issue said the investment firm is handing back no more than US$1 billion to investors and will thereafter focus solely on managing the assets of Soros and his family. | 兩名熟知內(nèi)情的消息人士透露，索羅斯將在年底以前向外部投資者返還不到10億美元的資金。該基金將集中致力于僅為索羅斯及其家族管理資產(chǎn)。 |
| ?Soros said the move will enable him to spend more time on philanthropic and political work, to which he has donated more than US$8 billion over the past 30 years. | ?索羅斯此舉將使其從一名投機(jī)者轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)橐晃淮壬普渭摇Ｋ髁_斯在最近發(fā)表的一篇文章中稱，在過去30年時(shí)間里，他捐贈(zèng)了80多億美元資金來促進(jìn)民主、培育言論自由、改善教育和消滅全球范圍內(nèi)的貧窮現(xiàn)象。 |
