Steve Cohen’s Point72 Asset Management returned about 1% in 2016, the 2nd-worst annual performance ever for the billionaire investor. The family office, which runs Cohen’s personal fortune and invests across equity teams, suffered along with other multi-manager firms, which struggled to make money in stocks. When he was running his predecessor firm - SAC Capital Advisors – returns averaged about 30% annually, and its only losing year was 2008, when it dropped almost 28%.
