Ken Griffin’s hedge fund Citadel has become the latest big financial institution to undertake drastic steps and reduce the number of its employees following a number of big banks. The hedge fund’s long-short strategy Surveyor Capital has suffered significant losses since the start of the year, prompting the move.
