Balyasny Asset Management

Balyasny Asset Management describes itself as a multi-strategy asset management firm aiming to provide consistent, uncorrelated returns across market environments. Its site says the firm is organised around investment teams that generate ideas, risk teams that manage exposure using a customised, forward-looking model, technology teams that build tools and analytics for the investment side, including artificial intelligence, and business infrastructure teams that support the wider firm. It reports a large number of investment and support professionals working across multiple global locations, describing itself as continuously building and evolving. The firm notes that its trading techniques include short selling and the use of leverage, and states that any investment in its funds is speculative and carries a risk of loss. Balyasny also says it aims to recruit and develop highly skilled staff and help them perform well, citing internal programmes for developing portfolio managers and an annual internal event focused on artificial intelligence.
