Rob Pohly's Samlyn Capital is cutting off senior analysts; the company has previously cleared almost all industry exposures, kept only global financial stocks, and turned its investment focus to this area. According to people familiar with the matter, this $7 billion equity hedge fund sold stocks in various industries such as industry, technology, and retail a few weeks ago, earlier than the recent wave of market sell-offs. The recent decline has hit the entire hedge fund industry hard. One of the people familiar with the matter said that as of October, the fund had declined by about 5% this year. In the future, Samlyn will mainly trade global financial stocks, an area that Pohly has been focusing on for decades. Samlyn has retained analysts who specialize in the financial industry. Instead of returning the funds to investors, Samlyn re-invested the cash from the sale of other holdings in financial stocks, or temporarily kept the cash pending deployment at a later date.
