Point72 also operates private-market strategies

These strategies can have different holding periods and liquidity than the liquid hedge-fund books.

Public firm AUM is $58.5 billion

Current first-party company information:

• Public firm AUM: $58.5B
• Public firm AUM as of: 2026-07-01

Point72's definition includes assets managed for funds currently offered to third-party investors and specified Cohen/employee-related capital.

It excludes strategies not available to third-party investors, such as Cohen Private Ventures.

Regulatory AUM is $274 billion

Form ADV filings show:

• Regulatory AUM: $274B
• Regulatory AUM as of: 2026-08-14

Form ADV private-fund minimum references are often $100K

Current regulatory private-fund references include:

• Point72 Global Macro Investments minimum: $100K
• Point72 Associates minimum: $100K
• Point72 Capital International minimum: $100K
• Point72 Capital LP minimum: $100K
• Cubist Strategic Investments minimum: $100K

Other vehicles show different values.

A regulatory minimum field does not establish that a new outside investor can subscribe at that amount today.

Fee types include performance-based compensation

Current regulatory profile:

• Asset based fees possible: Yes
• Performance based fees possible: Yes
• Other fees possible: Yes

Investor portal confirms private investor servicing

Current first-party investor portal provides existing investors access to:

• account statements;
• announcements;
• fund-related documents.

Point72's brand includes affiliated global entities

Current first-party disclaimer states Point72 Asset Management, L.P. receives investment-advisory and middle/back-office support from affiliated entities globally.

The U.S. registered adviser remains the canonical legal adviser for this review.

Assessment

Point72's current business is broader than a long/short equity hedge fund.

Its public strategy platform spans:

• multi-manager fundamental equities;
• Cubist systematic investing;
• discretionary global macro;
• private credit;
• venture/private investments.

The biggest numerical trap is again AUM.

$58.5B is Point72's own dated firm-AUM definition for third-party-offered strategies.

$274B is Form-ADV-derived regulatory AUM.

They should not be collapsed.
