Simon Sadler turned Segantii Capital Management Ltd. from a tiny startup hedge fund into a $4.8 billion giant, cultivating a reputation as Asia’s “block-trade king” from his perch in Hong Kong.

Over those 17 years, he amassed a net worth of at least $360 million, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
