Ken Griffin’s Citadel posted declines of 8 percent in its main hedge funds this year through March 11, as the $25 billion firm lost money in a unit that has helped drive profits in recent years, according to people familiar with the firm’s performance.
The Surveyor arm, which trades equities across 29 teams, accounted for about three-quarters of Citadel’s losses during the first two months of the year, said one of the people.
