Ken Griffin’s Citadel hedge fund rose 1.9% in January as volatility ramped up
- SUMMARY
Billionaire investor Ken Griffin’s hedge fund, Citadel, experienced a 1.9% increase in January 2023.
This gain comes after a strong 15.3% return in 2022.
The firm’s trading funds also performed well, with the tactical trading fund gaining 2.6% and the global fixed income fund returning 1.7%.
The stock market’s initial rally in January has slowed recently due to discussions surrounding rate cuts.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s comments indicating an unlikely March rate cut led to a significant loss for the S&P 500.
Despite this, some experts, like Citadel’s CEO Ken Griffin, remain optimistic about the U.S. economy, citing positive data in the labor market and GDP growth.
Citadel began 2024 with $56 billion in assets under management
