Walleye Capital plans to return about $2 billion to its clients following a tough performance in October 2026, as reported on Yahoo Finance Markets. [1, 2]

Key Details

Amount Returned: Approximately $2 billion is being sent back to investors. [1]
Asset Reduction: The move will scale back Walleye Capital's hedge fund assets from around $17 billion down to roughly $10 billion. [1, 2]
October Performance: The firm suffered a 5.9% loss in October 2026—its worst monthly performance since the March 2020 market crash, which pushed the fund into negative territory for the year. [1, 2, 3]
Strategy Shift: The capital return accompanies a major pullback and restructuring in its equities trading unit, including letting go of several equity portfolio managers and parting ways with its stock-picking head, while refocusing on other areas like its volatility business (which actually recorded its strongest month ever in October).
