2024 hedge-fund returns: Schonfeld, D.E. Shaw, and Walleye among the year's big winners

Schonfeld

• Among the multimanagers, $12 billion Schonfeld led the way in 2024.
• The firm bounced back from a tumultuous 2023 to return close to 20% last year.
• Its multistrategy peers ended with double-digit returns but didn't match the S&P 500's 23% gain.

What a difference a year makes.

When 2023 came to a close, Schonfeld Strategic Advisors was trailing its peers and shedding staff.
