A property developer and luxury hotel chain owner are among a small group of investment partners in Doyen Capital LLP, which has made bets on the career of soccer stars Neymar and Radamel Falcao, two people who have worked with the hedge fund said.

The families of Tevfik Arif, founder of Bayrock Group LLC, and Fettah Tamince, chief executive officer of Rixos Hotels, are investing in soccer, energy trading and other areas through Doyen, said the people, who weren't authorized to speak publicly about the subject. The fund's managers include Arif's son, according to one of the people.

Kazakhstan's Arif didn't respond to an e-mail with questions about his involvement in the fund. He helped develop the 46-story Trump Soho hotel and condominium in Manhattan with Donald Trump and the Sapir Organization. Arif was acquitted after being arrested on a yacht in 2010 by Turkish police investigating a prostitution ring.
