Summary
Millennium Management is preparing to raise at least $10 billion in new capital, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke to Bloomberg on condition of anonymity. The raise is expected later this year and would be directed at the firm's flagship fund, a vehicle that has been central to Millennium's growth as a multistrategy hedge fund manager led by Izzy Englander.
The sources said the fundraising reflects strong and sustained investor interest in multistrategy hedge funds, which allocate capital across a range of uncorrelated strategies and teams. Bloomberg's reporting characterizes the move as an effort to capitalize on that demand, though the sources did not specify the final size or the timing of closings beyond the expectation that the raise would occur later in 2026.
Related coverage of the story notes that the fund posted a 2.4% return in May 2026. Figures on the firm's final fundraising total, investor composition, and fee terms were not disclosed in the reporting available for this summary.
