The bidding war for broadcaster Sky PLC had already provided hedge funds with one of their best trades of the year. Saturday’s dramatic auction made it even better. Paul Singer’s Elliott Management Corp., Seth Klarman’s Baupost Group and Crispin Odey’s Odey Asset Management are among funds to have reaped huge profits from their positions this year. A 21-month sale process culminated in a dramatic auction on Saturday that saw U.S. cable giant Comcast Corp. beat 21st Century Fox Inc. with a $38.8 billion bid, or £17.28-a-share, or about $22.59 a share, to buy the broadcaster.
