Reuters – David Murrin and Susan Payne, the UK-based husband and wife hedge fund team accused by one U.S. thinktank of fuelling and exploiting a global commodity crisis, are to split the two businesses they founded together after agreeing to separate.
Murrin, a former oil company geologist well known in the hedge fund industry for his outspoken geopolitical views, has taken sole ownership and become CEO of London-based Emergent Asset Management, a spokesman said on Wednesday.
