  "account": "Albar Capital Partners is set to return external cash to investors while continuing to manage its London-based market-neutral equities strategy for Millennium, according to a Bloomberg report. The arrangement involves Albar returning money to its outside clients before operating independently with funding from Millennium. The firm, which manages around $1.5 billion, operates a market-neutral long-short equity strategy focusing on European stocks, with smaller allocations to US and Asian markets. Albar has been trading since July 2018 and has generated positive returns in every full year since its launch, except for the 2018 partial trading period. The deal highlights Millennium's strategy of backing successful portfolio managers with external capital before integrating those relationships into its own capital base. Millennium, led by Izzy Englander, has been known to provide significant autonomy to managers and recently invested in outside hedge funds while exploring other arrangements to replace third-party capital with Millennium money.",
  "summary": "Albar Capital Partners plans to return external cash to investors before running its market-neutral equities strategy exclusively for Millennium, according to a Bloomberg report. The London-based firm, which manages around $1.5bn, will use capital supplied by Millennium to operate independently. This arrangement reflects Millennium's strategy of backing successful portfolio managers with external capital and integrating those relationships into its own capital base. The deal mirrors a similar arrangement with Bobby Jain Global, where the firm agreed to return external investor capital and manage money exclusively for Millennium. Albar, which began trading in July 2018, has focused on European equities, with smaller allocations to US and Asian markets. The strategy has generated positive returns in every full year since its launch, with annual returns ranging from 2.9% in 2023 to 11.4% in 2024.",
