Derek Kaufman, a former global head of fixed-income trading at hedge fund Citadel, is starting an effort to try to break through the divisiveness in US politics.
His group, called the Inclusive Abundance Initiative, will seek to bring together policy experts, business leaders and government officials who are politically moderate to further policies that focus on topics such as energy, housing and technological innovation. The initiative is set to begin this month, a few weeks before the US election in November.
