  • Steven Cohen's Point72 Is Accused of Sexism in Workplace
    Steven Cohen's Point72 Is Accused of Sexism in Workplace www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-13/steve-cohen-s-point72-accused-in-lawsuit-of-sexism-in-workplace Just as billionaire Steven Cohen stages a comeback as a hedge fund manager, a current employee sued his Point72 Asset Management accusing it of discriminating against women and promoting a culture of sexism. Lauren Bonner, an associate director at the firm, also accused President Doug Haynes of using an inappropriate term on a white board in his office and leaving it there for weeks, according to the complaint filed in federal court in New York on Monday. Haynes, a former McKinsey & Co. director, was hired in 2014 and led efforts to revamp Cohen’s business after it pleaded guilty to securities fraud and paid a record fine. Bonner, who joined Point72 in August 2016, runs the firm’s talent analytics team and manages 14 people, according to the complaint. She alleges the firm hired and promoted fewer women than men, paid her less than male counterparts with equal or fewer responsibilities and had only one woman portfolio manager and only one female managing director. Point72 “emphatically denies these allegations and will defend itself in a more appropriate venue than the media,” the Stamford, Connecticut-based firm said in an emailed statement. ‘Vital Members’ “We stand by our record of hiring and developing women,” the firm said. “In an industry where women are historically underrepresented, the hundreds of women at Point72 are vital members of every part of our organization. Our female investment professional workforce exceeds published industry averages -- a direct result of our concerted and sustained focus on promoting diversity at Point72.” Bonner’s attorneys at Wigdor LLP said in an emailed statement that the lawsuit “exposes the structural sexism at Point72.” Along with Point72, Cohen and Haynes are named as defendants in the case.

Last year, a bidding war for Mr. Poyarkov broke out among hedge-fund heavyweights Renaissance Technologies LLC, Citadel LLC and TGS Management Co. When it was over, he went to work at TGS in Irvine, Calif., and could earn as much as $700,000 in his first year, say people familiar with the contract. The Russian-born software engineer, who declined to comment, as did the hedge funds, had almost no financial experience. What TGS wanted was his wizardry at designing algorithms, sets of rules used to power calculations and problem- solving, which in the investment world can quickly parse data and decide what to buy and sell, often with little human involvement.

  • The Second Coming of Steven Cohen
    cnbc.com Kate Kelly Conceived as an emergency exit strategy and incubated under intense pressure, Steve Cohen's second corporate incarnation has developed into a childhood prodigy. Adam Jeffery | CNBC Steve Cohen at Point 72 Asset Management. While the average hedge fund fell by 1 percent last year, Cohen's so-called family office, Point72 Asset Management, rose close to 16 percent in 2015. A fleet of consultants is scrubbing his tarnished public image through collegiate investment contests, charitable giving and other initiatives. On the legal front, once an all-consuming distraction, he now has much less worry: a pair of landmark insider-trading cases, which had strong bearing on a third case involving an employee, were repudiated by an esteemed judicial panel and turned down for a hearing by the Supreme Court. In large part as a result of that, on Friday, a civil case against Cohen brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission for alleged failures to supervise errant employees in 2013 settled quietly without an admission of guilt or a financial penalty. In an email to CNBC after the settlement was announced, Cohen said it was "nice to have it over with." To employees, he wrote, "the longer the pending litigation lingered, the more it distracted from the world-class firm that we are building. Resolving the case gives us certainty and opens a path to raising outside capital in the future." At the same time, Andrew Ceresney, the SEC's head of enforcement, said in a statement that the resolution of his agency's 2½-year undertaking is one that "achieves significant and immediate investor protection and deterrence," thanks to a two-year ban on the supervision of outside capital that's been placed on Cohen and the requirement to implement a compliance monitor inside Point72.
