Summary
Millennium Management is redeeming more than $1.5 billion of leveraged cash from two external hedge funds that the multistrategy investment firm backed last year, according to Bloomberg. The firm, led by Izzy Englander, withdrew more than $1 billion of leveraged capital from event-driven hedge fund Troluce Capital Advisors, according to people with knowledge of the matter who asked not to be identified because the transaction is private.
The report does not name the second fund involved in the remaining portion of the roughly $1.5 billion in redemptions. Because the details come from people familiar with the transaction rather than public filings, the exact timing, terms and size of each withdrawal beyond the figures cited could not be independently confirmed from the available reporting.
The move is notable because Millennium had provided leveraged capital to these external managers, placing it in a position to pull funding as it adjusts its exposure to outside strategies. Allocators tracking multistrategy platforms' relationships with external managers may view the redemptions as a signal about how the firm is managing leverage and capital allocation across its external book.
