Reuters – Long-time Viking Global Investors executive Tom Purcell is leaving the $32 billion hedge fund to invest his personal fortune and pursue other interests, the firm said this week in a letter to investors.
Purcell, 44, who joined Viking nearly 16 years ago and was co-chief investment officer until last year, decided to resign only weeks after returning from several months away on leave, the fund said in the letter dated March 2 and seen by Reuters.
