Dmitry Balyasny and Steve Schurr, a senior portfolio manager, discussed the firm's equities rebuild. The manager wants its equities teams to focus on deep research, not short-term trading. A new 15-person internal research team with data scientists and former journalists has done 120 projects for PMs this year. Balyasny said he believes that trading alongside his employees helps him connect with potential recruits as he's in the trenches with them. He compares running an equities team to being a young company pitching a venture firm.
