Schonfeld Macro & Fixed Income - London

Was wondering if anybody has much insight into Schonfeld as a firm, how it compares to the other large MMs and the caliber of their DMFI business, especially in Europe. Have been expanding a lot, but still a relatively new effort. Is it true that teams are given more time and loser risk limits than at comparable shops? Is the speed of expansion / AuM growth over past years a risk? I understand that they are also building up a sub-IG credit team in addition to the more traditional macro offering one tends to see at multi-managers. Schonfeld seems to have a somewhat unique approach compared to Citadel or MLP, but that’s just me judging from outside in.
