D. E. Shaw
Founded by David E. Shaw (computer scientist, ex-Morgan Stanley quant; the firm seeded the founders of Two Sigma). Blends systematic and discretionary strategies.
A pioneer of computational/quant investing that now blends systematic and human-run discretionary strategies. The 13F long book leads with exactly the AI-compute complex: NVDA, Microsoft, Broadcom (AVGO — custom AI silicon/networking), Alphabet, Apple, with the top-5 (NVDA, MSFT, QQQ, PLTR, MU) ~11% of the equity book. AVGO and MU give it deeper semiconductor breadth than the pure index-cap names. Strong 2025 across its flagship Composite and macro Oculus funds.
