Ken Griffin’s Citadel performed across the board in February.
The firm’s five strategies that feed into its flagship Wellington fund — fundamental equity, quant, commodities, fixed income and macro, and credit and convertibles — were all up last month, a person close to the Miami-based manager told Business Insider.
The fund was up 1.9% on the month, bringing its 2026 gains to 2.9%.
The firm, which managed $66 billion at the start of February, notched gains of 1.5% in February in its tactical trading fund, which blends the firm’s fundamental stockpickers with its computer-run equity portfolios.
Michael Gelband’s ExodusPoint, which had its best year on record in 2025, was up 0.9% last month, a person close to the New York-based firm said. The manager is now up 2.6% for 2026. Millennium is now up 2% on the year after a 0.6% gain in February.

It was another banner month for Asia-based multistrategy funds. $6 billion Dymon Asia made nearly 5% in February, bringing its 2026 gains to more than 10%, while Pinpoint Asset Management is up 6.6% for the year in its flagship fund.
The stock market was down on the month, as the S&P 500 index gave back some of the gains it had notched in January. The broad sell-off in software stocks, driven by AI releases, hurt blue-chip companies like Salesforce.
There were a few multistrategy managers that ended the month down. Balyasny lost 0.4% on the month, though is still positive for the year. Walleye had its second straight down month in February, and is now down 1.4% in 2026. Jain Global lost money again in February and is down 2.2% on the year.
This month has already been volatile thanks to the strikes against Iran by the US and Israel on Saturday. Oil prices have surged, and stocks tumbled on Monday.

Economic boycotts are a familiar tool of protest. The problem is they often place the greatest strain on the smallest businesses.
That was the case during Friday’s nationwide general strike, which was designed to pressure the Trump administration to dial back its aggressive anti-immigration policies.
For many small business owners, the shutdown created a dilemma. Supporting the cause often means losing a day’s revenue and risking their ability to keep staff employed. Across social media, owners voiced solidarity alongside an apology for staying open.
There may, however, be another way, according to Scott Galloway, a marketing professor at New York University famous for his critiques of Big Tech.
Instead of a blanket shutdown, Galloway is calling for Americans to focus on major tech companies by unsubscribing from — or opting out of — services like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Amazon’s Prime Video, and Microsoft Office.
A targeted boycott starting on Sunday and lasting the entire month of February could move markets, he says, which would, in turn, affect the CEOs who have the ear of President Donald Trump.
“We’re proposing something quieter and less cinematic than a protest that will run all day on cable TV, but much more disturbing to the Trump administration. A one-day slowdown is irritating. A one-month slump is terrifying,” he wrote in a blog post announcing the boycott.
Major tech CEOs have sought favor with the president during his second term. Many of them donated to his inauguration, for starters.
AI executives, like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, also accepted an invitation to a White House dinner with Trump in September, where the leaders took turns lauding the president. Apple CEO Tim Cook and Amazon CEO Andy Jassy attended the White House premiere of the documentary about first lady Melania Trump at the height of January’s anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis.
Supporting the AI industry in its competition with China is a major pillar of Trump’s economic agenda.
“These are the leaders who have his ear,” Galloway writes. “A modest reduction in their companies’ growth could have a substantial impact on valuations priced to perfection. Small changes in consumer behavior — starting on the first day of February — could have an enormous ripple effect, one that extends all the way to the White House.”
The anti-ICE movement
Regular protests against the tactics of ICE and Border Patrol personnel have gripped the country for months. Thousands marched through Minneapolis again on Saturday. Tensions rose dramatically in January after the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, both at the hands of federal immigration agents.
In both instances, protesters recorded videos and posted them to social media for the world to see, leaving little room for the Trump administration to spin the events in its favor.
While those videos and the subsequent protests — as well as the attempted nationwide shutdown — have spread awareness, they have so far done little to substantively shift the administration’s immigration policies.
The Department of Homeland Security demoted a key Border Patrol official last week and promised more changes. At the same time, however, the acting director of ICE expanded the power agents have to carry out warrantless searches, according to an internal memo seen by The New York Times.
“Real change always comes from the American people, not from our political parties. But power doesn’t fear protests nearly as much as economic withdrawals,” Galloway writes. “Getting off your couch, taking to the streets, and building community is important, but the most radical act in a capitalist society isn’t marching, it’s not spending.”
While many people handle grief in private, Florence and the Machine processed hers in an album released on Halloween. Some fans got a taste when the band performed “Sympathy Magic” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. It’s an enchanting series of songs that make you feel like you’re meandering deep through a forest, encountering mythical beings before getting on a dark horse and clomping straight through the fog and shadows of grief straight through to heaven itself. To say that the album is a journey is an understatement. It is otherworldly and ethereal. Excitingly, fans can experience it all, live, and I’m here to help by breaking down how to get Florence and the Machine tickets.
Even if you’re not yet a fan of the new album, Florence and the Machine have had several hits over the years. While not all of them are quite as witchy or grief-ridden as this one was, Florence Welch’s voice brings you through powerful moments that will inspire you to make your way through it to the other side, from “Dog Days Are Over” to “Shake It Out.”
Florence and the Machine are going on tour again next year. I’m here to bring you tips on how to have an experience that will leave you feeling an echo afterward. Come check out how to get the best deals on tickets from StubHub and VividSeats.
Florence and the Machine’s 2026 tour schedule
Florence and the Machine announced the coming concerts a week before they announced their new album: “Everybody Screams.” The tour is highly anticipated among fans who have become enchanted with the recent Halloween album drop.
The band is playing in several major cities and venues across the United States. In cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York, they’ll be there for a couple of days to help ensure that more fans can hear them before they move on to the next location.
Several of the stops along the tour are paired with other artists.

How to buy tickets for Florence and the Machine’s 2026 concert tour
Florence and the Machine tickets went on presale recently. This gives aspiring concertgoers a lot of options for possibly snagging seats, with tickets up for grabs on Ticketmaster as well as on StubHub and VividSeats.
There is one festival appearance scheduled during the tour on Friday, July 3, 2026. That appearance in Milan is part of the I Days, a major festival that takes place annually in Italy.
Some tickets are available to purchase via StubHub’s UK ticketing portal. Those tickets are priced in British currency to reflect that.
The most expensive tickets currently are for the France and Germany shows. They are hundreds of dollars more than any of the other dates. When I researched purchasing tickets outside the United States, I found information stating that tariffs were in place that could be applied. Shoppers will want to be mindful of this when budgeting their spending.
How much are tickets?
Currently, resale tickets are not tremendously more expensive than their original counterparts, but it’s still early. We are in the pre-sale after all.
The price ranges for tickets are quite substantial, even for the cheapest tickets. The lowest tickets are about $70 on a handful of dates. They can then reach upward of a couple of hundred dollars for tickets on Stubhub, to over $500 for the highest-priced tickets on VividSeats.
That said, while I did find affordable tickets, I also found expensive ones. For example, if someone wanted to go to the show on May 20th in really good available seats in a lower bowl corner area of Los Angeles’ Kia Forum, they’d be looking at paying over $2,500 a ticket. While those are good seats, they aren’t even the top tier for the venue. Concert suite tickets at the Kia Forum can range between $5,000 and $15,000. People drop serious money going to events there and spare no expense to see their favorite performers. There is a huge difference not only in cost but in the experience itself when there.
Who is opening for Florence and the Machine’s tour?
Florence and the Machine is sharing the tour with a few other artists. The paired bands are marked with their corresponding dates on the charts above. The artists going with Florence and the Machine are: *Rachel Chinouriri in the early April dates, †Sofia Isella in mid April, ‡CMAT in the later April to early May dates, and §Mannequin Pussy for May dates.
Florence and the Machine are the big name for the date that they are headlining the Italian festival scheduled in July.
Will there be international tour dates?
There are lots of opportunities to see Florence and the Machine internationally. In fact, some of the tour’s biggest shows are international dates.
When was the Florence and the Machine presale?
Tickets for Florence and the Machine went on sale via presale from November 3, 2025, at 10 a.m. ET to noon ET.

A select number of tickets were available with this pre-sale. The artist presale of tickets was also on November 3, 2025, and November 4, 2025. This was open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. local time on Tuesday and was available to fans who had signed up through the artist’s website. Tickets for the show officially go on sale to the general public on November 5, 2025.
