Ken Griffin’s Wellington hedge fund ekes out 1% gain in August

Billionaire investor Ken Griffin’s Citadel hedge funds managed to navigate a volatile August, with small gains amidst market turbulence. Citadel’s multistrategy Wellington fund saw a 1% increase last month, bringing its year-to-date return to 9.9%. The fund’s five strategies – commodities, equities, fixed income, credit, and quantitative – all delivered positive results in August.

Additionally, Citadel’s tactical trading fund rose by 1.5% in August, with a year-to-date return of 14.5%. The equities fund, utilizing a long/short strategy, also posted a modest 0.8% gain, pushing its 2024 returns to 9.3%. The Miami-based firm, with approximately $63 billion in assets under management as of August 1, maintained a strong performance despite market challenges.

August saw a resurgence in market volatility, fueled by concerns of a looming recession following a disappointing July jobs report. The S&P 500 experienced a 3% drop on August 5, marking its worst day since September 2022. However, the market quickly rebounded, ending the month with a 2.3% gain. Year-to-date, the S&P 500 is up over 15%.

In response to growing macroeconomic uncertainty, hedge funds have adopted a defensive stance. Recent data from Goldman Sachs’ prime brokerage indicates that hedge funds have been selling global equities for seven consecutive weeks. Sales have been concentrated in communication services, financial, and consumer staples stocks.

Citadel’s resilience in navigating the volatile market conditions underscores the firm’s expertise in managing risk and capitalizing on opportunities. Despite the challenges, Griffin’s hedge funds have demonstrated solid performance and prudent investment strategies, positioning Citadel as a leading player in the hedge fund industry.
