Ken Griffin Shutting Down Citadel Stock-Picking Unit

February 2, 2017

Citadel is shutting down one of its four stock picking units a little over a year after launching.

 

Ken Griffin is shutting down SF-based Ravelin Capital, a unit that has struggled with underperformance. Jeff Runnfeldt, who had headed the unit, left Tuesday, 1/31. Most of the unit’s investment teams will be consolidated into Citadel's Global Equities business.

 

The Ravelin shutdown comes amid several other closures. Last year, Blackstone's Senfina platform closed following double-digit underperformance, less than 2 years after launching.
