Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, and JP Morgan are some of the many companies that have established their offices in Poland. Point72 – one of the most prominent hedge funds in the world – has recently joined this group. The 300gospodarka portal talked to the head of Point72 in Poland, Rafael Lopez Espinosa.
Daniel Rząsa, the editor, asked at the beginning what does Point72 do and why did it decide to open an office in Warsaw.
“Point72 is an alternative asset management company. Steven Cohen created it over 25 years ago. Our founder is still active in the company. The value of the assets we manage is approx. $20 billion, we have 12 offices around the world,” Rafael Lopez Espinoza said.
He added that Point72 was attracted by the great strength of the talent in this market.
“For many months we have been looking for a new place for an office to hire talented people who will help us run the company. In all our searches, Warsaw was at the top of the list. That's why a year ago, in July, we moved here and opened an office,” the head of Point72 added.
