多策略对冲基金两大巨头千禧年（Millennium）和Citadel在2025年为投资者交出了略超10%的回报，但 表现逊于该领域多家规模较小的同行。 据英国金融时报称，知情人士透露，两家机构在经历2025年前几个月的市场动荡后，通过严格的风险管 理和多元化交易策略实现业绩反转。 市场环境的改善为这一复苏提供了支撑。特朗普在年中放弃了许多最激进的关税措施，推动股票指数在 年底前录得强劲涨幅。标普500指数和英国富时100指数2025年分别上涨16.5%和21.5%。 分析认为，这种市场波动性的降低和随后的上涨趋势，为多策略基金创造了更有利的交易环境。 在多策略对冲基金领域，规模较小的机构2025年明显占据优势。ExodusPoint以18%的回报率领跑，较两 大巨头高出约8个百分点。Schonfeld旗舰基金12.5%的涨幅同样超过千禧年和Citadel。 1月2日，据英国金融时报，Izzy Englander执掌的千禧年和Ken Griffin旗下的Citadel在经历上半年短暂亏 损后实现反弹，全年分别录得10.5%和10.2%的涨幅。两家机构年初曾因特朗普关税政策引发的市场震 荡而短暂陷入负收益区间。 ...
