Since its founding two decades ago, Citadel has grown into a global financial institution. The firm’s culture of identifying and seizing opportunities can be traced back to CEO and firm founder, Kenneth Griffin’s passion for the markets. While a student at Harvard, Griffin developed his first convertible bond arbitrage model and traded from his dorm room. One year after graduation, Griffin launched Citadel as a single strategy fund.

Today, Citadel is a leading global financial institution with a diverse business platform that is built on a foundation of world-class talent, technology and infrastructure. Founded in 1990, the Citadel group of companies includes a division that principally executes alternative investment strategies across multiple asset classes; and Citadel Securities, comprised of investment banking, a sales and trading platform, an industry leading market making franchise, and Omnium, a recognized administrator serving financial institutions. With more than 1,000 team members, Citadel operates in the world’s major financial centers, including Chicago, New York, London, Hong Kong and San Francisco.
