Citadel rose past Ray Dalio’s Bridgewater to the top of the all-time list despite Bridgewater’s estimated $6.2 billion in net gains in 2022

Citadel, the multinational hedge fund, and financial services company in Chicago makes a whopping $16 bn profit, marking a tow that establishes Citadel as the most successful hedge fund ever. According to the Forbes report, Citadel rose past Ray Dalio’s Bridgewater to the top of the all-time list despite Bridgewater’s estimated $6.2 billion in net gains in 2022.

Wellington fund, Citadel’s leading multi-strategy fund returned around 38% in 2022. The achievements are notable since last year was hard-hitting for the equity markets. Multi-manager funds such as Citadel and Millennium, which run money across a wide range of strategies, and macro funds such as Brevan Howard and Rokos which bet on falling bond yields, thrived, reports Financial Times. The interest rates rose in order to compete with the soaring inflation, damaging several equity funds.

The profits gained were powered by bets across a range of assets including equities and bonds. The selling of government bonds provided relief to many managers in the face of a global economic crisis. The Chicago organization made a total gross trading profit of nearly $27 bn last year and the present gains substitute Bridgewater, which had been the most successful hedge fund.

Citadel and its persisting performance

When several hedge funds struggled in the past years, Citadel received 25% in return through the Wellington fund. According to reports, $1 million invested in wellington at inception in the 1990s would be worth more than $300 million today. Even in a struggling 2022, Citadel has well managed to bring in more returns compared to other bigshots in the sector. The firm returned more than $5 billion in profits to its investors, reports The Wall Street Journal.  The firm churns out profit from its other business-like market-making and securities.

According to the LCH estimates, companies like D.E. Shaw generated around $51.9 billion in net gains since inception and $8.2 billion in net gains in the year 2022. Millennium bags the spot right after D.E. Shaw with $ 8 billion net gains in the year 2022. Davidson Kempner, the US alternate investment management firm stands on the list with $0.4 billion in net gains in the past year. Hedge funds lost $205 billion for investors overall while the top managers made more than $20 billion gain in the previous year.

Citadel endured severe losses during the 2008 financial crisis but has since posted gains far in advance of the S&P 500 and its competitors. The firm was able to take a risk last year while many other investors were fleeing for safety. It set records in four of its five business groups last year, with its fixed-income strategy outperforming several specialized macro funds with a 32.6 percent return.
