史蒂夫·科恩作別交易生涯。
這位對沖基金創(chuàng)始人億萬富翁仍是Point72資產(chǎn)管理公司聯(lián)合首席投資官,只是不再管理客戶的資金。Point72在一份郵件聲明中表示,68歲的科恩將更關(guān)注推動公司增長,指導(dǎo)和培養(yǎng)人才。
30多年來,科恩一直是行業(yè)主導(dǎo)力量之一。經(jīng)歷了代價高昂的內(nèi)幕交易丑聞之后,他將公司重建為全球最大的對沖基金之一。如今他的公司已擁有超過185個交易團隊且涉足其他領(lǐng)域,包括 2020年收購紐約大都會隊(New York Mets),仍給自己保留了一小部分股票規(guī)律交易。
“史蒂夫作為投資專業(yè)人士有影響力的導(dǎo)師,具有巨大的價值,”Point72發(fā)言人蒂芙尼·高爾文-科恩在聲明中表示,“他從業(yè)40年,經(jīng)歷很豐富。現(xiàn)在幫人們努力爭取成功,是最讓他開心的事,他覺得自己在這一領(lǐng)域提供的附加值最大?!?/p>
由于科恩團隊在股票多頭/空頭、宏觀和定量投資方面采取多種策略,單個交易員無法對Point72的盈利能力造成實質(zhì)性影響。盡管如此,他告別交易行業(yè)是一次測試,由此能看出公司離開傳奇創(chuàng)始人之后能否繼續(xù)穩(wěn)定發(fā)展。
以前科恩也曾短暫停止交易,本次他的決定也可能有變數(shù)。
2018年以來,他的公司籌集了200多億美元,截至7月1日管理資金達到創(chuàng)紀錄的352億美元,說明投資者仍然推崇有交易員團隊的對沖基金。此前彭博社(Bloomberg)報道稱,截至今年8月Point72回報率約為10%,并考慮2025年將利潤返還給客戶。
“現(xiàn)在公司比我重要得多,實際上是一種解放,”2021年5月科恩接受Stray Reflections撰稿人賈瓦德·米安采訪時說。
之前科恩出名是因為實現(xiàn)年化回報率30%,當(dāng)時公司還叫SAC Capital Advisors。為解決長達七年的聯(lián)邦內(nèi)幕交易調(diào)查,公司支付了創(chuàng)紀錄的18億美元罰款。2013年SAC承認獲得數(shù)億美元非法利潤,以及縱容厚顏無恥內(nèi)幕交易的犯罪文化。
科恩一直否認存在不當(dāng)行為,但從未被指控或起訴,不過他同意兩年內(nèi)不管理外部資金。
公司認罪后,科恩將公司更名為Point72,退還客戶資金并用自己的財產(chǎn)交易。2018年初,他重新開始為外部投資者管理資金。
從13歲起,科恩就對股市產(chǎn)生濃厚興趣。他開始關(guān)注《紐約郵報》(New York Post)刊登的上市公司股票。當(dāng)時他家住在紐約大頸郊區(qū),從事服裝制造的父親每晚都會帶回當(dāng)天報紙。
后來科恩離開長島,前往賓夕法尼亞大學(xué)沃頓商學(xué)院(Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania)就讀,經(jīng)常逃課去當(dāng)?shù)匾患胰炭垂善?。他自學(xué)成了看股大師,能通過觀察股票價格和交易量波動預(yù)測股票的走勢。
1977年獲得經(jīng)濟學(xué)學(xué)位畢業(yè)后,科恩加入了紐約經(jīng)紀公司Gruntal??贫鞯墓ぷ魇亲誀I交易員,用Gruntal的錢買賣股票。他飛速進步,1985年成為公司首席自營交易員,1992年辭職創(chuàng)辦SAC。
彭博億萬富翁指數(shù)(Bloomberg Billionaires Index)顯示,科恩凈資產(chǎn)147億美元,躋身美國富翁百強。(財富中文網(wǎng))

Steve Cohen has stepped away from the trading floor.
While the billionaire hedge fund founder remains Point72 Asset Management’s co-chief investment officer along with Harry Schwefel, he’s no longer investing clients’ capital. Cohen, 68, is instead focused on driving the firm’s growth and mentoring and developing talent, the firm said in an emailed statement.
Cohen has been one of the dominant forces in the industry for more than three decades and rebuilt his hedge fund into one of the world’s biggest after a costly insider-trading scandal. Even as he grew his firm into one with more than 185 trading teams and branched out into other interests, including his 2020 purchase of the New York Mets, he retained a small book that he traded regularly.
“There’s huge value in having Steve as an impactful mentor for our investment professionals,” Point72 spokesperson Tiffany Galvin-Cohen said in the statement. “He’s been doing this for 40 years, and he’s seen a lot. That’s what gives him the most satisfaction these days — helping people succeed and seeing it make a difference — and where he feels he can add the most value.”
With its teams running a diverse range of strategies across equity long/short, macro and quant investment, no single trader, including Cohen, is material to Point72’s ability to generate profits. Yet his move away from trading is a litmus test to determine whether multistrategy firms can thrive beyond their legendary founders.
Cohen has previously taken breaks from trading and his latest decision could change.
His firm has raised more than $20 billion since 2018 and managed a record $35.2 billion as of July 1, showing that investors are still keen to back a hedge fund that’s driven by teams of traders. Point72 gained about 10% this year through August and is considering returning profits to clients in 2025, Bloomberg has reported previously.
“The firm’s a lot bigger than me today, which is actually very liberating,” Cohen said in a May 2021 interview with Jawad Mian, author of Stray Reflections.
His previous claim to fame was a 30% annualized return atop a firm, then called SAC Capital Advisors, that paid a record $1.8 billion fine to settle a seven-year federal insider-trading probe. SAC pleaded guilty in 2013 to reaping hundreds of millions of dollars in illegal profits and allowing a culture of criminality that rewarded brazen insider trading.
Cohen, who consistently denied wrongdoing, was never charged or sued, though he agreed not to manage outside money for two years.
After the firm’s guilty plea, Cohen changed its name to Point72, returned client capital and traded using his own fortune. By early 2018, he was back to managing money for outside investors.
Cohen has been interested in the stock market since he was 13 years old. He started following stocks listed in the New York Post that his father, a dress manufacturer, brought home to suburban Great Neck, New York, each night.
Cohen left Long Island for the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where he would often skip class to watch stocks at a local brokerage. He taught himself to be a master “tape reader,” able to predict the direction of a stock by watching each tick of the price and the volume of shares traded.
After graduating in 1977 with a degree in economics, Cohen joined Gruntal, a New York brokerage firm. Cohen came on board as a proprietary trader, buying and selling stocks with Gruntal’s money. He thrived and in 1985 became the firm’s head proprietary trader, a job he held until 1992, when he quit to start SAC.
Cohen has a net worth of $14.7 billion, putting him among the 100 richest Americans, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
