Name top hedge funds

D.E Shaw is the top hedge fund in my opinion

SAC and Renaissance are right there too.

Here is a list of the top 100 hedge funds in terms of assets under management. It should cover most of the top funds. (http://www.iimagazine.com/Rankings/rankingsHeFu100RGlobal08.aspx?src=htt...)

If you're interested in working at a hf, especially after undergrad, it would be well to note that many of the funds on the list are better than others (assets under management doesn't directly translate to this) as well as the fact that many of them are darn near impossible to get a job for (Ren Tech, who seems to go looking themselves for brilliant Math/Physics phds and is more of a closed group).

I don't know too much either but I think some of the best that take people out of undergrad are
D.E Shaw
Citadel (but its notorious for a high turnover)
Bridgewater

Gl and I'm def. very interested in this thread and anyone who wants to expand on how to get a career in a hf after undergrad, and which will take you (sa positions etc), and yes I know there is a thread on this, but its not very informative.

Just search for it...literally less than a week ago we had this discussion. Oh, and apparently I watch too much CNBC.
