The fund has made 8.3% for the year. The manager&#039;s Tactical Trading fund, which combines the firm&#039;s quant and flesh-and-blood stockpickers, is up 16.3% in 2025 after 2.6% gain last month.<\/p>\n<p>The $30 billion Balyasny continued its strong year with a 2.5% gain in November. The manager is now up 15.3% in 2025. ExodusPoint pushed its year-to-date returns to 15.6% with a 1.2% bump in November.<\/p>\n<p>These firms and many other multistrategy managers outperformed the S&amp;P 500 last month; the index gained just 0.1% thanks to an early-month sell-off of tech stocks that was partially reversed by strong earnings from chipmaker Nvidia and solid iPhone sales by Apple.<\/p>\n<p>The index for the year has still made more than 16% in 2025, which is greater than many funds&#039; year-to-date gains.<\/p>\n<p>The firms below declined to comment.
