Steve Staszak

__NOTOC__ 
Steve Staszak is a retired derivatives industry professional who was formerly director of clearing operations for CME Group. 
He is also a musician and has participated in A Leg to Stand On musical fundraising events in Chicago.
He has served as treasurer for the FIA Chicago Division. He has served as secretary of the FIA Americas Operations Division.
 
In 2022, Staszak was inducted into the Futures Industry Association's Futures Hall of Fame, which was established in 2005 to commemorate outstanding contributions to the global futures and options community. 
== Background ==
Staszak started his career at the CME in 1985.
Steve Staszak's entry into the financial industry was rather serendipitous. Following his graduation from high school, Staszak intended to enroll in community college but found himself unable to secure day classes due to their lack of availability. Remembering the advice of a friend, he decided to pursue a part-time job opportunity, which eventually led him to the trading floors of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
Staszak's career at the CME began in 1971, when he joined as a pit reporter, quickly transitioning to the role of a board marker. During this time, he witnessed historic events such as the opening of the International Monetary Market (IMM) and the introduction of new markets like gold trading.
Staszak joined the CME as a member and was a one-lot trader. However, as the CME markets grew an opportunity opened up for a supervisor position at the CME clearinghouse responsible for unmatched trades. He was jumped at the opportunity and was hired, despite not knowing a lot about out-trades at the time. 
This position played a significant role during the 1987 stock market crash in organizing trade checking sessions and implementing intraday margin cycles, helping to maintain market stability during extreme volatility. These experiences also led to the standardization of clearing processes to mitigate risk and ensure efficient operations.
He was instrumental in initiatives such as the collaboration between CME and the Singapore International Monetary Exchange (Simex), which facilitated mutual offset arrangements and expanded market access across different time zones.
== Education ==
Staszak earned an MBA from DePaul University in Chicago.

Steven A. Cohen is the chairman and CEO of Point72 Asset Management, a Connecticut-based family office he founded in 2014, when he converted the investment operations of his former firm, hedge fund SAC Capital Advisors. Point72 manages about $11 billion of his personal fortune.
With an estimated net worth of $12 billion in 2016, Cohen is listed as 37th on the Forbes 400 list. 
== Background ==
King of Hedge Funds
Cohen is renowned not only for his ability to make money as a trader, but also for his penchant for spending it, on such things as a 30-room mansion in Greenwich, Connecticut and an art collection that includes works by Warhol, Picasso, Cézanne and other famous artists. 
Cohen began as an options trader with Gruntal & Co. in 1978. He started SAC Capital Advisors in 1992 with $25 million in assets. At its peak just before the conversion to a family office, SAC had over $50 billion under management, with a staff of 1000 people across the globe.
Regulatory Woes
While often referred to as the "King of Hedge Funds," he was under close scrutiny by Federal authorities after a string of insider trading scandals involving ex-employees of SAC. On Nov. 20, 2012, Mathew Martoma, a former hedge fund portfolio manager with the CR Intrinsic Investors unit of SAC, was accused of perpetrating "the most lucrative insider trading scheme ever," according to Preet Bharara, the United States attorney in Manhattan, who brought the charges in Federal District Court in Manhattan. 
The SEC filed charges against Cohen in 2013 for failure to prevent insider trading by Martoma and Michael Steinberg, another ex-employee. 
In November 2013, The U.S Securities and Exchange Commission sought to bar Cohen from the financial services industry for life for failing to supervise Mathew Martoma and another employee. SAC Capital agreed to pay $ 1.8 billion in criminal and civil settlements and plead guilty to fraud charges stemming from insider trading by its employees.
In January 2016, under the terms of a settlement with Cohen and his former firm, the SEC barred him from supervising funds that manage outside money until 2018. The settlement did not require him to pay any penalties.

Cohen holds a bachelor's degree from University of Pennsylvania Wharton School of Business.
