Billionaire Chris Rokos’s hedge fund cemented its position as one of the best-performing macro money pools so far this year, with year-to-date gains now reaching about 20%. His hedge fund, which manages more than $17 billion, gained around 6% in April, bolstering the returns, a person familiar with the matter said, asking not to be identified discussing performance. Rokos Macro Hedge Fund Returns Source: Investor document and Bloomberg reporting Note: 2024 returns are through April Rokos’s success comes amid a wild year for macro traders so far this year. Many of them found themselves wrong-footed by a broad recalibration in interest-rate expectations, which led to a selloff in US bonds. Those expecting aggressive reductions by the Federal Reserve were disappointed, while Rokos, who’s known for placing high conviction leveraged bets, profited from the market U-turn. The first quarter saw a wide range of returns across macro peers. Performance among global macro funds was the most widely dispersed of any strategy during the period, according to data from fund administrator Citco, with results for tracked hedge funds varying between -10% to north of +20%. Rokos, whose net worth is estimated at $1.8 billion by the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, runs one of the biggest macro hedge funds in the world. He co-founded  Brevan Howard Asset Management in 2002 before starting his own operation in 2015.

Banks have found another way to fight back after private lenders have grabbed ever larger pieces of the lucrative business of financing leveraged buyouts. Citigroup Inc. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. are among Wall Street giants that served as matchmakers on recent transactions between smaller companies looking for loans and private lenders eager to provide financing. Their pitch to direct lenders boils down to this: we can use our vast network of corporate clients to help you find issuers that want financing, and take them through all the paperwork involved in getting a private loan, for a fee. It’s the latest step that big banks have taken to reclaim business their leveraged lending desks have lost. Historically the biggest buyouts would be funded with junk bonds as well as leveraged loans that were arranged by big banks then syndicated to a wide array of investors. Leveraged finance and related businesses generated about a third of Wall Street’s investment banking fees. But private lenders have been taking more of that business, forcing banks to consider other ways to get involved. In addition to advising direct lenders and smaller companies, firms including Wells Fargo & Co. and Barclays Plc have established formal partnerships with private credit firms to get a foothold in the market. In addition to setting aside a chunk of its own balance sheet to originate private credit deals, JPMorgan Chase & Co. has also been looking for partners.
