AI tools support fundamental research but do not replace judgment

• CEO CIO: Ryan Tolkin

Assessment

Schonfeld's current platform mixes systematic and discretionary investment styles.

The four strategy groups should remain distinct rather than being reduced to a generic "multi-manager" description.

The biggest numerical guard is AUM:

• $22B+ current public AUM;
• $225B current regulatory AUM.

Both are useful, but they measure different things.

The same applies to minimums: $3M and $25M references belong to specific vehicles, not the manager as a whole.
