Children's Investment Fund Trims Royal Mail Stake

Christopher Hohn's Children's Investment Fund has recently sized down its holdings of Royal Mail.  Previously, they owned 5.8% and now they own just under 4.6%.  They've sold around 12 million shares.

Royal Mail went public late last year and soared higher.  Children's Investment Fund was a big beneficiary as they were the largest shareholder. 

As such, it looks like Hohn's fund has locked in some profits.  According to fund documents, the firm returned well over 40% in 2013, with Royal Mail obviously contributing to those gains.
