A hallmark of Citadel’s success has been diversifying into new investment strategies opportunistically over time, utilizing a variety of relative-value, event-driven and fundamental approaches. Whereas Citadel’s early focus was strictly on US convertibles, Ken expanded the business to include investments in Japanese equity warrants and European convertible bonds in the early 1990s. In 1994, Citadel entered several non-credit related businesses. In the early part of this decade, we added both energy expertise and fundamental capabilities in areas such as equities. Throughout approximately 17 years of history, we have successfully integrated businesses to create one of the world’s leading financial institutions focused on alternative investment strategies. Today, Citadel’s operations include nine global, proprietary investing businesses: Global Credit, Global Energy, Global Equities, Global Markets and Quantitative Strategies, Global Rates, Principal Strategies, Securitized Products, Emerging Markets and Reinsurance. In early 2007 we launched Citadel Solutions and Citadel Alternative Asset Management, our administrative services and fund of hedge fund businesses. Citadel has grown by repeatedly identifying and capitalizing upon market opportunities. Under the direction of the Citadel team, these investment strategies have generated superior risk-adjusted returns.

Today, Citadel is a global leader with over one thousand employees and approximately $15 billion in investment capital. Citadel has a global footprint with offices in Chicago, New York, San Francisco, London, Tokyo and Hong Kong. Our performance is distinguished - since 1998 Citadel has generated over $10 billion in net profits.

Citadel looks to the future with great anticipation as well as humility. We endeavor to integrate the lessons of the past with our vision of what opportunities the future will hold. We know we must always stay ahead of the curve.
