Quant Firms - who's the best ?

  1. I've compiled a list here. Please feel free to add if I missed someone.
    I'd like to get some opinions as to who is the best as far as trading profits.
    AQR Capital Mgmt - Cliff Asness
    Two Sigma - David Siegel / John Overdeck
    Bridgewater Associates / Ray Dalio
    Citadel - Ken Griffin
    DE Shaw - David Shaw
    Renaissance Technologies - Jim Simons.
    Did I forget someone ?

  3. Thanks for that. Looks like I got most of the quant strategy firms. Still, I like your list which includes firms like Bluecrest and Millenium which may be partially quant.

    QIM was also one of the best until losing money last year, but may again get to the top.
    Though it’s funny how its founder/manger donated $120M to his local university and people are revolting...:
