Citadel plans to return $5 billion in profits from 2025 to investors in early 2026, reducing its assets under management from $72 billion to $67 billion due to market challenges. The Wellington fund reported a net return of 9.3%, its weakest performance since 2018, as it struggled with unsuccessful bets on natural gas prices. Despite these challenges, Citadel has returned a cumulative $32 billion in profits since 2017, solidifying its status as the most profitable hedge fund in history.
