NEW YORK -- U.S. hedge fund Citadel, led by billionaire investor Ken Griffin, has decided to reopen an office in Tokyo after closing the branch following the 2008 global financial crisis.

Citadel was drawn back to Tokyo for its market size, high market liquidity and its talent pool, sources familiar with the plan said.
