Two Sigma Investments will dismiss roughly 200 employees after the firm’s new co-chief executive officers conducted a wide-ranging review of the hedge fund’s business.

No portfolio managers were included in the dismissals, according to a person familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified discussing personnel information. Thursday’s cuts represent about 10% of the firm’s roughly 2,000 employees.
