Richard Northridge, a former portfolio manager at Citadel, has received $1 billion from Marshall Wace to trade for its flagship hedge fund.

London-based Marshall Wace allocated the money to a global cyclical stock-trading book run by Northridge this month, according to an investor letter seen by Bloomberg. This initial backing, which is part of the firm’s main $22 billion Eureka hedge fund, will scale up as Northridge builds out his team, the firm wrote to clients.
