Tudor Investment Corp.’s former commodities research chief will launch his own hedge fund in January.
Steve Mathews’ Flintlock Commodity Opportunity Partners will focus on 24 commodities, Bloomberg News reports. Mathews spent 12 years at Tudor, where his commodity fund returned double-digits in each of the last three years, including 23% in 2008.
Joining Mathews at the new venture are senior partner Peter Dawkins, formerly of ShiningStar Capital, and chief operating officer David Walker, formerly of Tower Capital Asset Management.
Flintlock will require a $1 million minimum investment. Those who want a managed account will have to pony up $30 million.
