A fundamental shift is taking place as Multistrats who have successfully raised billions of dollars in capital are increasingly looking to deploying that capital outside of their platform. "For Millennium, founded by Izzy Englander, the move underscores its growing focus on seeding external managers. While the firm is best known for its large internal multi-strategy platform, it has increasingly allocated capital to independent portfolio managers through dedicated arrangements such as separately managed accounts."

Arnab Sen from Paloma Partners Management Company will be addressing the banks' Quantitative Investment Strategies, or QIS, subject of a recent WSJ article at the Battle of the Quants - Worldwide in New York City next week. "Aggressive hedge funds have been trying to profit from the growth of QIS programs by anticipating their trades, says Arnab Sen, who developed QIS products at Barclays before joining Paloma Partners as a portfolio manager. These funds try to act before the QIS programs can, a cat-and-mouse game that can cause unusual movements in various investments. "It exacerbates moves in the market," Sen says.
