Steven Schonfeld is the founder and CEO of Schonfeld Strategic Advisors, a multi-strategy hedge fund managing approximately $15 billion in assets. Schonfeld has grown from a proprietary trading firm into one of the industry's prominent multi-manager platforms.
Schonfeld founded his firm in 1988, initially operating as a proprietary trading firm focused on equities. Over the past decade, the firm has transformed into a multi-strategy platform, recruiting portfolio managers across equities, macro, and quantitative strategies to compete with Citadel and Millennium.
The firm employs a pod-based model where independent portfolio managers operate within a shared risk and technology infrastructure. Schonfeld Strategic Advisors has been one of the fastest-growing platforms in recent years, aggressively recruiting talent from competitors.
