Ken Griffin’s Citadel performed across the board in February.
The firm’s five strategies that feed into its flagship Wellington fund — fundamental equity, quant, commodities, fixed income and macro, and credit and convertibles — were all up last month, a person close to the Miami-based manager told Business Insider.
The fund was up 1.9% on the month, bringing its 2026 gains to 2.9%.
The firm, which managed $66 billion at the start of February, notched gains of 1.5% in February in its tactical trading fund, which blends the firm’s fundamental stockpickers with its computer-run equity portfolios.
Michael Gelband’s ExodusPoint, which had its best year on record in 2025, was up 0.9% last month, a person close to the New York-based firm said. The manager is now up 2.6% for 2026. Millennium is now up 2% on the year after a 0.6% gain in February.
It was another banner month for Asia-based multistrategy funds. $6 billion Dymon Asia made nearly 5% in February, bringing its 2026 gains to more than 10%, while Pinpoint Asset Management is up 6.6% for the year in its flagship fund.
The stock market was down on the month, as the S&P 500 index gave back some of the gains it had notched in January. The broad sell-off in software stocks, driven by AI releases, hurt blue-chip companies like Salesforce.
There were a few multistrategy managers that ended the month down. Balyasny lost 0.4% on the month, though is still positive for the year. Walleye had its second straight down month in February, and is now down 1.4% in 2026. Jain Global lost money again in February and is down 2.2% on the year.
This month has already been volatile thanks to the strikes against Iran by the US and Israel on Saturday. Oil prices have surged, and stocks tumbled on Monday.
