Schonfeld

Anyone has any idea how Schonfeld has been doing recently? Or anything about culture or hours? Can't seem find too much information about them here or elsewhere. Appreciate if anyone is able to share any insights they may have. Thanks.

They are a pod shop so I would imagine culture varies from team to team, nonetheless would like to learn more about them as well 

 

form the internets...
pods - teams of traders that have almost complete autonomy to make money. But they are given stringent parameters to manage the risk of their portfolios

 

Wanted to bump this to see if there are any other opinions out there on their fundamental equities business. Obviously it depends on the pod, but any anecdotal insights would be helpful.

 

Quant has a large draw down this year? and a lot of turnover seems to be always with them/

 

Different funds, easy to get confused though. PSAM is mostly event driven, merger arb, special sits; Schonfeld is a multi-manager (like MLP, Citadel, P72, Baly).

Just remember: it's not a lie if you believe it.
