All of them are simply too big/cap-constrained. Citadel realized early on that they would be CC and moved into operations. You look at BW's filings and it's all the same shit; AAPL, AMZN, etc.

that's what I meant by the 1000 monkeys.... if you start with 1024, year 1 512 monkeys over perform, year 2 256 over perform 2 years in a row ....
after 10 years you are statistically guaranteed to have 1 monkey that has won 10 years in a row... and considering there are so many monkeys on wall street.... you get the idea
but the problem is the monkey is still a coin flip monkey, so once you hand your money to them, you will get coin flip performance.
BW filings are only stock. They most definitely have investments in a whole bunch of shit worldwide.
ino. Look at their 13F history of timing AAPL. 10% of their portfolio and they don't know how to trade it.

A much bigger probleM for most hedge funds, even though maybe not a problem for BridgeW, Paul Tudor Jones, Mike Masters/Marlin fund;
QQQ has beat them so much= its a shame. Then many hedge fund raised/trended up fees; QQQ, SPY, UPRO ,VOO lowered fees, + made a mint on high Volume
I don't know if they trade TBH. Could be a hedge, or something else.
You go from $16B in shares to $12B in April? Stock rallies almost 50% from their reduction (to date).
happy they cannot traffic in midcap and small caps. More inefficiencies for retail guys to exploit.
Like I said, it's probably part of their portfolio. The results speak for themselves! lol
