flag Eisler Capital shuts down after four years due to unmanageable costs and low returns.

flag Eisler Capital, a London-based hedge fund aiming to compete with U.S. giants like Citadel and Millennium, has shut down its flagship fund after four years, citing unsustainable staff costs and a fee structure that eroded investor returns. flag Personnel expenses surged over 900% in five years, outpacing revenue growth despite a 40% rise in turnover. flag High compensation for top talent, including some earning over $100 million annually, proved unmanageable for smaller funds. flag Investors, particularly European pension funds, are increasingly favoring lower-fee managers amid declining returns, with Barclays research showing pass-through funds now retaining less than half of trading profits. flag While London still hosts successful firms like Rokos and Marshall Wace, New York dominates the global hedge fund landscape with over 900 managers compared to London’s 171. flag As large multi-strategy funds grow, their concentrated trading activity is increasingly influencing stock movements, contributing to the highest earnings-day volatility since 2016.
