This move marks the first time that its founder Izzy Englander has sold equity in the companyaEUR(TM)s close to four-decade history, reported Financial Times.A
It also represents a shift in the ownership structure of the New York-based hedge fund, which was previously entirely owned by Englander and related entities.A
The transaction values Millennium at about $14bn.A
