Company News
Several major hedge funds are reducing their investment staff in Miami despite the city's reputation as a growing finance hub. Eight multistrategy firms — including Citadel, Millennium, Point72 and Balyasny — employed 218 investment professionals in Miami in 2025, down 20 from the previous year, even as their overall investing head count grew by over 11%. Citadel, which moved its headquarters to Miami in 2022, cut 15 investment professionals there whilst adding 77 globally. Millennium reduced its Miami presence from 53 investors to 48 and consolidated from two offices to one. Only ExodusPoint and Walleye increased their Miami investment staff. Growth is instead concentrated in New York, London, Hong Kong and Dubai, according to regulatory filings.
