Chris Rokos, a prominent macro trader, capitalized on the market surge following Donald Trump's election, resulting in a near $1 billion profit for Rokos Capital Management. This achievement marks one of the best trading days for the hedge fund since its inception in 2015.
Insiders revealed that while the so-called "Trump trade" contributed significantly to the gains, Rokos also profited from other asset categories. As of October, the hedge fund's returns have increased by approximately 20% for the year, with assets under management reaching around $19 billion.
The London-based firm has declined to comment on these reports.
