Point72 Asset Management is an American hedge fund. It was founded in 2014 by Steve Cohen, after his previous company S.A.C. Capital Advisors pled guilty to insider trading charges.

In 2018, the company reopened to external investors after a two-year ban and began accepting outside capital.[4] The company's office is located in Stamford, Connecticut.[6]
