What market cap restrictions do MMHF’s have?
Never really took this into consideration but what market size restrictions does a PM at a MMHF have that prohibits them from investing.
For example the other day a client at Citadel reached out about a company and for whatever reason we drifted to $ALHC (mkt cap 1.5 billion). He said it’s an interesting story but it’s far too small for him to invest in.
Is there a hard cut off set by management or is this something the PM set himself?
The short answer is depends on GMV book size. Nice rule of thumb to think about is that you start to eat slippage costs once you step beyond 3-5% ADV in a single name - of course not an end all be all rule but helpful to frame up how pod PMs will think about it. Maybe you could have a hard cutoff set at launch by the risk team that the PM agrees to but this is typically a judgement call made by the PM from what I've seen and heard. Don't know about SM's and you mention Citadel so will keep focused on pod structure. This has been my experience so someone from some other pod & PM may have a totally different way of thinking about it.
Example using round numbers (not perfect):
This is talking about capacity from an industry perspective but has similar concepts.
