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 ?
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.

If you want a good list of firms that have quants, go to quantnet.com: https://quantnet.com/threads/big-list-of-quant-employers-2.27288/ Keep in mind there are differences between Hedge Funds, Asset Managers, Prop Shops (directional), and Prop Shops (market-making).
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...: https://www.c-ville.com/windfall-blowback/
