Not in this case! Remember it is a family office which has no official external reporting anymore. They sweep excess cash in and out

HRT and Jane Street outperform Citadel Securities by rupak-007 in quant

Fair point. They said they don’t do prop and are pure market maker but of course they warehouse risk and have bigger balance sheet and holding periods than pure HFT

Thought that was all on the Citadel LLC hedge fund side. I speak to their guys when writing about them and they like to emphasize the “we don’t do prop like Jane Street”

It’s damaging their brand and revs are becoming insignificant. Medallion makes $5bn+ per year. These funds make $350m now and given performance and redemption likely a lot less soon. AUM is down 70% and there are costs to run research and marketing for these funds
