Everyone talks about two sigma Jane street Hudson River tower citadel etc, but I’ve heard the shops that make even more money aren’t these big ones. Anyone know of some smaller or more secretive /elite shops?
I think there's a website or two with lists of this stuff, likely for a price.
This list isn’t exhaustive but here are a few that come to mind: Systematica (spun out of Bluecrest), Cubist (Point72), Kepos, Quantitative Investment Mgmt, Squarepoint Capital, PDT Partners, Dynamic Capital Mgmt, Matarin Capital Mgmt, Paloma. Guggenheim just spun out its Quant Investment team a few days ago. Many Multi-strat hedge funds have quant investment teams as well. There are also a bunch of prop trading shops in Chicago. Peak6, Wolverine, and Spot Trading, for example.

What is Duck Creek? I see them on here a lot.
They are insurance software, not quant. No clue why there are so many Duck Creek people on blind though. Probably in top 5-8 companies I see.
