The Rokos Fund is considering collecting stock selection ideas from external sources, emulating the practices of some of its peers.

Insiders say that the fund company founded by Chris Rokos is considering absorbing stock-picking intelligence from external sources, joining the ranks of peers such as Marshall Wace and Citadel. Insiders who asked not to be named due to discussions of non-public information said that Rokos Capital Management is considering establishing a so-called "alpha capture" program to obtain stock ideas from sell-side information providers. One of them said that the discussions are still in the early stages and plans may change. A representative of Rokos in London declined to comment.
