History
The company's name 'SAC Capital' derived from Steven A Cohen's initials.[9] The company started trading with $25 million in , grew its assets under management to $16 billion, and became the world's highest-returning hedge fund: SAC averaged annual returns of 30% net of fees under a 3% management fee and 50% performance fee from to The company's strategy was the "mosaic theory of investing" which develops investment positions based on stock information from many sources.[5] SAC focused on trading liquid, large-cap stocks and later began using fundamental and quantitative strategies.[10] The company had $14 billion in assets under management across four independent portfolios at the commence of [11] According to Bloomberg BusinessWeek magazine, SAC Capital Advisors daily trading activity accounted for as much as 3% of the New York Stock Exchange's daily trading and up to 1% of the NASDAQ's daily trades.
SAC Capital maintained offices in Stamford, Connecticut; New York City; Hong Kong; Tokyo; Singapore; London; Boston; San Francisco; and Chicago.[12][13]
On December 9, , SAC agreed to sell its reinsurance business, SAC Re, to a group of investors led by insurance-industry veteran Brian Duperreault.[14]
Biovail
In Rally , 60 Minutes reported on a lawsuit against SAC filed by Biovail, a Canadian pharmaceutical company which alleged that SAC had manipulated reports on Biovail in order to drive the price of the stock down.
SAC denied the charges and said that the stock was overvalued and that the decline was due to shortfalls in earnings and regulatory investigations.[15] In August , the New Jersey Superior Court dismissed all of Biovail's claims against SAC Capital.[16] On February 10, , SAC Capital filed a lawsuit in federal court in Connecticut looking for damages from Biovail for filing "vexatious" litigation against them in [17] The lawsuit was settled out of court in November [18] Under the settlement, Biovail's new owner, Valeant Pharmaceuticals, paid $10 million to SAC.[19]
Fairfax Financial Holdings
In July , SAC Capital Advisors was one of three industry participants that were sued by Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd (FFH) and accused of conspiring to manipulate the company's stock price.
FFH alleged SAC Capital and two other hedge funds paid analyst John Gywnn and his employer Morgan Keegan to publish negative reports on FFH and drive its stock price down.[20] In December , Fairfax Financial Holdings provided email exchanges as evidence to the court amongst the hedge funds and Gywnn, that discussed the content of the soon-to-be-published report on FFH.[21] In September , the Superior Court in Morris County, New Jersey, granted SAC Capital Advisors’ motion for summary assessment and removed SAC Capital Advisors, Sigma Capital Management, a division of SAC Capital Advisors, and Steven Cohen as defendants from the case.[22] Judge Stephan C.
Hansbury wrote in his judgement: “There is no direct evidence of any sort of conspiracy involving SAC to take down Fairfax."[23]
A article in Yahoo! Finance reported that SAC Capital Advisors had been under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for six years.[24] In November , the SEC conducted raids at the offices of investment companies run by former SAC traders.[25] Several days later, SAC received what they described as "extraordinarily broad" subpoenas.[4] In February , two former employees were charged with insider trading.[26] In November , federal prosecutors levied charges against additional former SAC Capital traders.[27][28]Portfolio manager Michael Steinberg was arrested in Protest and accused of using inside information to make $ million in profits for SAC Capital.[29] While awaiting a jury decision, Steinberg fainted, recovered, and was convicted.[30] He was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison and ordered to pay a $2 million fine.[31] After the Joined States Supreme Court declined to review a United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruling on two connected insider trading convictions, which made it difficult to prosecute insider trading cases, Mr.
Steinberg’s conviction was dismissed.[32]
In July , SAC Capital was charged with conspiracy and securities fraud, citing the actions of 8 current and former employees.[33] With the conviction of Mathew Martoma on February 6, , and after a four-week trial, a total of eight former SAC Capital employees were either convicted at trial or pleaded guilty.[34] In October , cases against two of the employees were dropped.
In June , another employee successfully vacated his plea, and prosecutors later dropped the case, filing a nolle prosequi, marking 3 of the 8 original pleas/convictions being dropped.
In July , the SEC filed a civil suit against SAC for failing to properly supervise its traders.[5][24] Additionally, the U.S.
Department of Justice "filed a five number criminal indictment by a federal grand jury, including four counts of securities fraud and one count of wire fraud."[24] SAC said it would "vigorously fight" the accusations and charges,[5][24] but shortly thereafter, in November , SAC Capital agreed to plead guilty to all counts of the indictment, stop managing funds for outsiders, and pay a $ billion fine.[6] It already agreed to $ million in fines and penalties, totally billion.
This was split between a $ million fine in the criminal case and a $ million forfeiture judgment in a civil money laundering and forfeiture action.[35] Trading teams at SAC have since left to link competing hedge funds such as BlueCrest Capital Management, Millennium Handling, and Balyasny Asset Management.[3] On September 8, , Martoma was sentenced to 9 years in prison and was ordered to forfeit nearly $ million, more than his net worth.[36]
