Rich Schimel and Lawrence Sapanski have started their new hedge fund with $1 billion in commitments seven years after shutting their previous firm, according to an email sent to investors.
Like Diamondback Capital Management, the duo’s Cinctive Capital Management is a long-short stock fund that uses multiple trading teams, each focusing on a specific sector. The firm has 11 teams and more than 20 investment professionals and plans to hire more people, said a person with knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be named because the information isn’t public.
