Despite a challenging start to 2025, multi-strategy hedge fund Schonfeld is pressing ahead with key hires, including the appointment of Helder Antunes from Millennium as Head of Quantitative Resources and Development for Macro and Fixed Income, according to a report by eFinancial Careers.

Antunes, who spent the last five years as Head of FX Analytics at Millennium, brings extensive experience to Schonfeld’s quant team.

Before Millennium, Antunes spent over five years as a quantitative specialist at Rokos Capital Management.

Schonfeld has also been recruiting from top investment banks, adding experienced professionals to its London operations. Recent hires include: Tim Armstrong, who joined as an embedded technologist in Schonfeld’s new Delta-One team after six years as a software engineer at Goldman Sachs; and Anna Baines, who was appointed as EMEA Head of Broker Relations after moving from Barclays' client strategy team.
