Since those early days, Schonfeld and its predecessors have effectively aligned their interests with those of their portfolio managers, traders and other personnel who have seen their successes drive the success of the business. Schonfeld's formula to successfully compete in the world's markets combines an entrepreneurial spirit with trading acumen, market knowledge and state-of-the-art technology.[1] "Schonfeld" refers not only to Schonfeld Strategic Advisors LLC, but also to certain of its affiliates, as applicable, including Schonfeld Group Holdings LLC (which is a client of Schonfeld Strategic Advisors LLC) and Schonfeld Strategic Techworx LLC (an affiliate).
