Summary
Multi-manager hedge funds including Millennium Management and Point72 posted strong gains in June 2026 as markets rebounded, according to a report by the Financial Times. The recovery followed a brief period of market disruption triggered by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East linked to the Israel-Iran conflict. Equities and risk assets rebounded as concerns over a prolonged conflict eased, and the volatility created trading opportunities that supported performance across a number of discretionary and multi-strategy managers.

Millennium, which manages approximately $89 billion in assets, returned 4.1% for the month, bringing its year-to-date performance to 10.5%. Point72 also delivered strong results, with investors benefiting from improved trading conditions across asset classes. The source did not publish a specific monthly return for Point72.

The June gains extend a strong first half for several of the industry's largest platforms. The performance reinforces investor demand for diversified multi-manager strategies capable of generating consistent returns across varying market environments, a theme that continues to draw allocator attention to the multi-strategy model.
