Millennium Nears $100 Billion in New Era for Giant Hedge Funds
Millennium Management's assets have hit $97 billion, more than double what the firm oversaw six years ago, and is speeding toward $100 billion.
The firm's founder, Izzy Englander, is ramping up an unusual model of seeding dozens of smaller would-be rivals to give his firm more capacity to take on investor cash, with $22 billion of new commitments set to close on Oct. 1.
Bloomberg's Hema Parmar joins to discuss.
