What's going on at Point72?

Hearing that nearly all teams across sectors are flat or down YTD. HH I spoke with said he’s been getting inbounds from a dozen or so analysts and Academy associates doing team rotations since the market downturn. Looking to recruit in the MM space--is now not a good time?

This makes me happy like you would not believe

But on a serious note, MMs have had a rough February with C/M also being down. No clue what March has looked like, but know a few teams that have been let go across the space in EMEA, so probably extends to P72

 

bad xp with the firm, but I was being facetious. them being fired doesn't make me $, so I don't actually care

 

Isn’t what’s going on at Point also happening at other places? Not so market neutral after all. Feel like now’s generally a bad time to apply, whichever shop/fund you’re applying to.

 

Any color on Academy Associates and their path on converting to FT analysts? Joining as an intern in APAC this summer, and this has got me quite worried
