Can I ask a question, thank you!

Why firms like Tower Research Capital is listed as Hedge Fund, but DRW Trading is Prop Trading firm?

My understanding is Tower is not a typical hedge fund, but can be account as new type of hedge fund, then how about DRW trading? Also, how about GETCO, GETCO is very similar to Tower Research Capital, right?

Perhaps it's a lot to ask with such a big list, but it would be convenient if their respective locations were also listed next to the name. At least, for new additions.

Semantics. I didn't want to spend too much time on categorizing each firm to the exact nature of their business which is less than ideal. Financial firms do all kind of business these days.

Many firms have multiple offices around the world but unless you want to find firms in remote locations, it's understood where the big financial centers are.

True, but most of these firms are not in all major financial centers, right? Grad students looking for summer quant internships may want to stay near their campus. I can already tell that one of the first steps I take with this list will be visiting many of the links just to find out if they offer internships near my campus.

Improvement to the list is warranted. I just need to find a way to get this list to be more useful and less manual intensive to update/search.

Deloitte is spelled wrong.

 

[John Marks]

Janes Street is not a hedge fund. It is a prop trading firm.

Hi @Andy Nguyen
Could you please give us some examples of well-known websites for quantitative positions, such as Quantitative Developer?
Thanks in advance.

hi Andy,
thanks for the comprehensive list. I am new and looking to change career in quant.
However, when i search those hedge fund companies (their website) don't list career section.
So, how can i apply a job? I never find those names in workopolis, indeed, simplyhired or elsewhere.

thanks

I'll add IMC Financial Markets: http://www.imc.nl/financialmarkets
It's a market maker and they are very selective with hiring too...

 

[Bob Tyson]
