The firm, founded by Bobby Jain, will return $6 billion to investors and shift to managing money solely for Millennium Management, with the deal expected to close in the third quarter of 2026.
Jain Global, which launched in 2024 with $5.3 billion from major investors, struggled to deliver competitive returns due to high startup costs and will now gain access to Millennium's resources while retaining independence.
The move is intended to accelerate Jain Global's growth and mitigate expenses, with plans to hire 15 new portfolio managers by year-end, as the firm transitions away from external investors to a single-client model.
