Steve Cohen’s $50.7 billion hedge fund has continued its strong run of returns with a 2% gain in May, a person close to the firm tells Business Insider.<\/p>\n

That gain puts Cohen’s firm at 10.5% for the year, following a 17.5% gain in 2025, when the manager outperformed its main rivals in the multistrategy space, namely Millennium and Citadel.<\/p>\n

May was generally good for big-name managers, people close to the firms told Business Insider. Millennium was up 2.4%, pushing its 2026 gains to 6.1%. Balyasny is now positive for the year thanks to a 1.4% gain last month. <\/p>\n

Still, funds struggled to keep pace with equity markets, which surged in May thanks to continued enthusiasm for tech and AI stocks. The S&P 500 index ended last month up 11% after a more than 5% gain in May.<\/p>\n

A few managers lost money for the month. Walleye and North Rock both posted small losses \u2014 0.9% and 0.2%, respectively \u2014 in May.<\/p>\n

The funds listed below declined to comment. More returns will be added as they are learned.<\/p>\n
