D.E. Shaw

D.E. Shaw manages approximately $60 billion in assets, founded in 1988 by David E. Shaw as one of the original quant funds on Wall Street. The firm employs computational and mathematical strategies across equities, fixed income, and derivatives globally. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos worked at D.E. Shaw as a senior vice president before leaving in 1994 to start Amazon from a garage, reportedly telling Shaw he would "regret it" if he did not pursue the internet opportunity.
