Balyasny Asset Management L.P. is a large hedge fund manager, not a retail forex or CFD broker. Dmitry Balyasny founded the firm in Chicago in December 2001 with two partners, originally under the name Balyasny Capital Management. It has been registered with the SEC as an investment adviser since 2006.
The firm runs roughly 165 investment teams across six core strategies, including equities long short, macro, commodities, and systematic trading. It employs close to 2,000 people across more than 20 offices worldwide. Reported assets under management vary by source, from around 29 billion US dollars in discretionary assets to higher figures once gross exposure is included.
This page exists because some data lists group BAM alongside retail forex brokers, but that comparison does not fit. BAM has no minimum deposit, no leverage, and no trading platform for the public, since it only manages money for large investors through its own private funds.
