Arrowstreet Capital?
Hi all,
I'm an undergrad in the Boston area studying physics/finance and am interested in Arrowstreet Capital. I am planning to get into contact with the firm to learn more about it, but does anyone know anything about the firm so I can go into the call with somewhat informed questions? Investing methodology (from the website it says quantitative/systematic, but how does that compare to a place like Citadel?), comp, WLB? It also says on their LinkedIn that Arrowstreet manages over $100BN, which almost seems too much given the size of the team (Two Sigma, for example, manages $60BN). Does anyone know what's going on with that? Thanks!

I have some pretty good insight. Will come back to the thread later with some info.
Awesome, thank you!
Just wanted to bump this in case you’re able to share any insights! Thanks
They are a large traditional quant institutional asset manager similar to Geode, Acadian, or Panagora, where the founders are from. It is not at all unusual for these firms to have hundreds of billions of AUM.
I would be surprised if comp is competitive with a hedge fund like Two Sigma or Citadel, but I’m not certain. Hopefully others with more experience with the firm can chip in.
From what I know, they are rentech like in that they have one model. the huge differentiator between them and s

The claim is that the developers research team start at 400k comp, not sure how much of that is the signing bonus, which is fair. Not sure about research associates. Though, the h1b base salaries page seems to indicate lower for some reason: https://h1bdata.info/index.php?em=arrowstreet&job=&city=&year=2022

Extremely helpful, thank you!
Personally see them more of AM than HF, thus pay and wlb etc follows a slightly diff path.
won’t go to details, did see handful of data points with new grad getting 300+ but it’s far from the norm. Def more balanced exposure vs traditionally value exposed quant shops.
300+ without including the signing bonus?
