千禧年交易员管理层的安托万·伊斯坎达尔，此前曾与雇主就潜在拆分基金进行初步讨论，现离开该多策略公司，转投竞争对手巴亚斯尼资产管理。
Management’s Antoine Iskandar, who had been in preliminary discussions with his employer over a potential spinout, is leaving the multistrategy firm for rival Balyasny Asset Management.
知情人士透露，总部位于瑞士楚格的千禧年高级投资组合经理伊斯坎达尔所在团队在决定离职前当年已出现亏损，他将加盟德米特里·巴亚斯尼的对冲基金公司。知情人士要求匿名，因涉及私人信息讨论。其中一人称，伊斯坎达尔为伊齐·英格兰德的公司管理了超过6亿美元。
The Zug, Switzerland-based senior portfolio manager’s team at Millennium had lost money this year before he decided to leave for Dmitry Balyasny’s hedge fund firm, people familiar with the matter said, asking not to be identified discussing private information. He managed more than $600 million for Izzy Englander’s firm, one of the people said.
知情人士表示，尽管伊斯坎达尔的团队在过去三年累计为千禧年实现盈利，但其专注于股票、相对价值和股票衍生品的策略在2026年出现了数千万美元的亏损，此消息由三人证实。伊斯坎达尔以及千禧年与巴亚斯尼的代表均拒绝置评。
While Iskandar’s pod had made money for Millennium during the past three years cumulatively, according to the person, the team’s equities, relative value and equity derivatives-focused strategy had seen tens of millions of dollars in losses in 2026, three people said. Iskandar and representatives for Millennium and Balyasny declined to comment.
伊斯坎达尔是众多受益于全球最大对冲基金之间激烈人才争夺战的资金经理之一。即使是出现亏损的基金也在被挖角，因为投资公司在争夺人才时试图让资本发挥作用。此类举动使交易员受益，让他们能够重新开始为自己赚钱，而不仅仅是专注于弥补之前雇主的亏损。
Iskandar is among a string of money managers benefiting from a fierce war for talent among the world’s biggest hedge funds. Even those that have seen losses are getting poached, as investment firms jostling for talent seek to put their capital to work. Such a move benefits traders by allowing them to start making money for themselves again, instead of focusing on recouping losses at their previous employer.
