Millennium, Citadel Winning the War to Keep Client Cash Longer

It’s a sellers’ market for some prominent hedge funds, and they’re using that advantage to keep client cash locked up for longer.

Izzy Englander’s $57 billion Millennium Management told investors last month that it had raised a record $10 billion for a fund that takes a minimum of five years to exit. At least four other large multi-manager funds have changed their terms or started new share classes this year, all extending the time it takes for investors to get out.
