Jim Pallotta, a fund manager at Tudor Investment Corp., will start his own investment firm in 2009, according to a letter to investors that was cited in a Bloomberg report. The $5 billion Raptor Global Fund that he manages will be spun off Jan. 1 from Greenwich, Conn.-based Tudor, where he has worked for 15 years. At the new firm, Mr. Pallotta will continue to manage the Altar Rock fund as well as money from Tudor's BVI Global Fund Ltd. The Raptor fund has dropped 21% since May 2007.
