Founded in 2001 by Dmitry Balyasny with a team of 12 in Chicago, Balyasny Asset Management L.P. (BAM) has grown to be four offices in four countries with over 150 professionals. Although the company has grown, the original premise remains the same: Create a collegial culture with a work-hard / play-hard mentality where successful people can grow to their potential and be part of a "family". It is truly BAM's culture that sets us apart from the rest of the industry.

BAM is a meritocracy that empowers the entrepreneurial spirit of our employees. BAM gives its employees autonomy and challenges them to take their roles to the next level and compensates based on performance.
