Point72 Expands Into Private Credit And AI
Point72 Asset Management, led by Steven Cohen, enters 2026 with about $41.5 billion AUM and is reshaping its business beyond hedge-fund roots. The firm split its equities into Point72 Equities and Valist, leaned into AI via the Turion AI Fund (estimated ~30% returns in 2025), and plans to raise at least $1 billion for private credit after reporting preliminary 2025 returns near 17.5%.
