Ex-Citadel portfolio manager Michael Derick has launched a long/short value-focused hedge fund. The Chicago-based outfit, called Steeplechase Capital Advisors, is said to be hoping to raise some $500 million to $1 billion in equity from institutional and high-net worth investors. Derick, who declined to talk specifics about the fund, including its size and its target investors, says the fund will have a strong value-oriented flavor. "It's a pretty simple strategy, but it's all about the execution," Derick says. In the past, Derick was a co-portfolio manager in hedge fund Citadel's primary strategies group. The fund manager also has had tours of duty as an analyst at long/short hedge fund Basswood Partners and at J.P. Morgan(JPM - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr). Steeplechase received an equity infusion from venture fund Skybridge Capital, which invests in start-up fund managers. The venture fund is said to have invested between $25 million and $50 million in Steeplechase. A call to Skybridge manager Anthony Scaramucci was not immediately returned.
