can someone smarter than me explain how the big pod shop model (Millennium, Citadel etc.) generally works pretty well? The whole idea of yanking the portfolio after some non-outlier drawdown in a relatively short period of time shouldn't really add any value imo

than what you are seeing (eg pod A wants to be long and pod B short, you can charge both of them 25bps in financing and clip the spread). Creates a buffer that partially pays for your netting risk.

MLP also has really good set ups to trade a broad array of products cheaply and has internal crossing so potential offset for t costs. Pod models like citadel are far less appealing bc you’re an input into citadel securities and are executed “low urgency” by default

Why is there netting risk? Isnt the pool of capital self contained in the pod?

They have investors cover netting (and costs incl pm bonuses!) and take less on the perf, like 15%, to compensate

Yes sorry, was writing this from the perspective of the fund not the GP (you do want the fund to have positive returns!) that wasn’t that clear
