Steve Cohen’s new hedge fund is hitting a little turbulence.

One of Point72 Asset Management’s senior staff -- Jeff Miller, co-head of U.S. trading -- has left the firm, according to people familiar with the matter who asked not be identified. Miller had spent more than a decade working for Cohen. He follows global head of trading Phil Villhauer, who, as Bloomberg News reported in October, was leaving after 15 years.
