Citadel plans to seed one of its PioneerPath portfolio managers, Todd Kantor, with $100 million when he launches energy-focused equity shop Encompass Capital, according to marketing materials.
Encompass is expected to begin trading its debut long-short equity fund in the first quarter of 2012 with Kantor as portfolio manager and at least four analysts — Holt Calhoon, Peter Chidyllo, Michael Jacobs and Jeremy Sussman — from PioneerPath.
