Lehman(LEH - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) is expanding further into hedge funds. The brokerage firm has purchased a 20% stake in Spinnaker Capital, a $5 billion-asset hedge fund in London, according to the Financial Times. Lehman did not disclose how much it paid for the stake but told Reuters that it plans to raise its stake in Spinnaker to 25% by the end of the year.
