Steven A. Cohen
Founder of Point72 Asset Management; owner of the New York Mets[1]
70 years old
Steven A. Cohen is an American investor, founder of S.A.C. Capital Advisors and Point72 Asset Management, and owner of the New York Mets. He earned an economics degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1978 and began his career trading at Gruntal & Co. He established S.A.C. in 1992.
Point72 began in 2014 as a family office and later returned to managing outside capital. In 2016, the SEC settled a personal failure-to-supervise proceeding with Cohen and temporarily barred him from supervising outside money. That settlement must be distinguished from the separate criminal case against S.A.C. entities. Cohen acquired the Mets in 2020. His baseball ownership, investment career and regulatory record are separately sourced below.
One octagon for each phase of the life of Steven A. Cohen. Each of the eight axes is scored 0 to 5 against a written rubric from documented evidence, with its source; an axis without evidence is a gap, not a zero. There is no total and no ideal shape: it is a profile, not a ranking. Appearance and personality are not axes, because they cannot be scored from evidence.
OverviewGenerated from documented data: the office held, income against IRS percentiles, the highest recorded degree and the reviewed legal record. Axes with no documented evidence are left out; researched phases are added through the wiki.
No total and no ideal shape: a longer spoke means more of that axis, so a long Misconduct spoke is more documented misconduct.

Actions by courts, regulators and ethics bodies, each with where it stands. Reviewed October 25, 2026. Only documented official actions are counted: findings, penalties and settlements, and cases still open. A charge or an investigation is not a finding, cases that ended in the person's favour are listed as such, and it is not a judgment of character.

Performance methodology
The performance data presented reflects the aggregated results of actual client portfolios managed by the Registered Investment Adviser (RIA), based on the trading activity in the securities contained in the relevant portfolio over the specified period. If fewer than 10 clients are invested in the portfolio, the data represents the aggregate performance of all clients following this strategy. Performance figures are shown net of advisory fees, calculated using the applicable subscription fee and an assumed $50,000 account size. Because subscription fees are flat rather than asset-based, accounts smaller than $50,000 would experience a higher effective fee percentage and lower net performance, while larger accounts would experience a lower effective fee percentage. Actual investor outcomes can vary due to factors like brokerage support for fractional shares, account size, trade timing, fees, and taxes, and past performance should not be interpreted as a guarantee of future results or typical of all portfolios.
