The rise in multi-manager hedge funds over the past five years has forced allocators to create a separate due diligence model for the fastest-growing segment in the industry. Even an executive at a midsized multi-manager admits their firm and its peers are "more like corporations than hedge funds." AdvertisementA new type of hedge-fund kingsFounders were once simply the best traders and money-makers, spinning out of banks' trading desks and larger hedge funds. Bobby Jain, the former Millennium executive starting his own multi-billion hedge fund, hasn't traded in decades but was a part of the leadership team at one of the biggest hedge funds in the world. Jobs at multi-manager platforms are roughly a quarter of the industry's overall roles, despite these funds holding roughly 14% of the assets.

Ascendance Asset Management, founded by former AllianceBernstein investor Bob Kim, will be a multi-strategy hedge fund that plans to integrate artificial intelligence across the investing and risk management process, several sources familiar with the matter told Business Insider. Kim was the director of research at Visium and a portfolio manager for Izzy Englander's Millennium before working as the chief investment officer for AB's Arya fund, the multi-billion multi-strategy fund within the asset manager's alternatives business. AdvertisementThe firm also brought on a former executive from billionaire Stan Druckenmiller's hedge fund Duquesne, John Kovitch, to be its head of trading. The goal, sources told BI, is for each portfolio manager to have their own personalized AI agent helping them trade. These firms need people, especially investing talent, pushing up compensation and guaranteed payouts across the industry.

But the spotlight came for Jane Street anyway. Representatives for Jane Street and Millennium declined to comment. Millennium is in many ways the inverse of Jane Street. Six years ago, Schadewald joining Jane Street raised some eyebrows — a testament to the once barely-known firm's ascendance. Today, leaving a juggernaut like Jane Street for the intensity of a high-risk, high-reward hedge fund seat is viewed as the surprise.

The Baha Mar resort in Nassau was full of quants, engineers, and data scientists the week before Christmas. One session featured Boston Dynamics founder Marc Raibert speaking on robotics and artificial intelligence with the firm's robot dog, Spot, next to him. Chess champion Magnus Carlsen came to play with teams from 12 different countries playing to win a $100,000 grand prize.

According to Goldman's chief economist, Jan Hatzius, some 25% of all US workers work from home at least part of the week. So, which Wall Street firms are still letting employees work from home at least part of the time? On days employees are in, the firm focuses on taking "advantage of our shared location," it reads. At that time, the firm called for its employees to come into the office a minimum of three days a week. Since then, most employees have been in the office throughout the week, according to a person familiar with the firm.

When it was raising fresh money from investors in 2020, one slide on the pitch deck for the hedge fund Schonfeld Strategic Advisors got to the heart of the issue: "Why Schonfeld?" A hedge fund recruiterAmid the weakness, the fund has begun to prune costs. Steve Schonfeld (class of 1977) and Brad Tolkin (class of 1976) attended Roslyn High School in Roslyn Heights, New York. Tolkin told Insider in 2019 that the firm's goal was no less than becoming "the premier equities hedge fund globally." While Steven Schonfeld's 20% annual-return goals would've been ambitious for any sizable hedge fund, returns have also lagged behind peers.

Hedge funds have reached the halfway point in a challenging year. The first half of 2023 was not how hedge fund managers drew it up. They invested heavily in global macro hiring late last year, expecting plenty more runway in the strategy's revival after a blockbuster 2022. Overall, the hedge fund industry lags far behind, gaining just 1.23% through May, according to the HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index. Citadel's strength has been one of the few certainties in an otherwise uncertain year for hedge funds.

This year, it remains the top-performing multistrategy fund, just ahead of Steve Cohen's Point72. Here's how multistrategy hedge fund giants fared in May, from Citadel to Millennium. Billionaire Ken Griffin's Citadel continues to lead the competitive multistrategy hedge fund performance race this year, despite being bested for the month of May by Izzy Englander's hedge fund. Returns are still rolling out, but the major hedge fund players did not see major movements within their flagship funds. In other hedge fund news: London-based hedge fund Marshall Wace's Eureka flagship fund, an equity fund managed by founder Paul Marshall, climbed 1.74% in May and is up 1.70% year to date.

The Citadel Wellington fund ended the month up 1.38%, while Steve Cohen's Point72 was up 1.33%. Equities was up 2.16% in March, bringing year-to-date performance to 4.56%.

There's an old saying on Wall Street: You can only leave Goldman Sachs once. Insider's Alex Morrell has a fascinating look at how Goldman Sachs' top executives have headed to some of the top hedge funds in the world in recent years. Poaching talent is a longstanding tradition on Wall Street, and the path from the investment banks to the buy side is a well-worn one.

But a recent report by Credit Suisse on the use cases for both ChatGPT and AI in finance caught my eye. AI models are only as good as the data they receive, which leaves them susceptible to bias, just like humans. A top-performing hedge fund is looking to team up with one of the hottest tech tools. Izzy Englander's Millennium Management told clients that it'll expect to get paid regardless of whether the hedge fund actually makes money for its investors, according to Bloomberg. The billionaire hedge fund manager believes all signs are pointing towards a recession.
Demand for macro portfolio managers remains white hot after a bounceback year in 2022. Millennium recently hired John Curtice from rival ExodusPoint, while Ben Melkman has been in talks to join another, Insider has learned. Millennium Management recently added another star to its stable, lifting a 32-year-old macro PM out of rival ExodusPoint, according to people familiar with the matter. Macro focused funds including BlueCrest, Brevan Howard, and Rokos produced stellar returns as most of the hedge fund industry — especially stock pickers — faltered.

Millennium Management, which houses multiple trading pods across the globe, is looking for more than 100 engineers and developers to help expand its footprint in top technology hubs. Izzy Englander's $57 billion fund is just one of many quant shops battling it out with the finance industry and top tech companies for hot talent. The firm is looking for back-end engineers, front-end engineers, data engineers, and quantitative researchers who are experts in Python, which is a popular computer programming language. Millennium looks for the typical attributes most financial institutions and big tech companies look for in engineers like experience and having an "entrepreneurial mindset," Talarico said. "You have to be able to communicate effectively with your client, whether that is an investment professional or someone else in the organization or someone else within technology" Talarico said.

"Needless to say, the market for technology talent is intensely competitive at this time," Englander said.
A survey conducted by the Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA), showed that about one-third of traditional hedge funds are investing in digital assets. Approximately one-third of the panel discussions revolved around digital assets, according to SkyBridge Capital's Anthony Scaramucci. And while some funds may still be grappling with the question of how much exposure they should allocate to digital assets, Scaramucci is pedaling forward. Long term, he believes in the appreciation of digital assets, and he's willing to pay the price of absorbing the volatility in the meantime. The pivot to digital assetsSkyBridge has pivoted heavily into crypto and blockchain technology from its traditional hedge fund of funds business.
