Best Quant Firms in Boston out of undergrad?

Hi all,

I’m an undergrad at Harvard/MIT interested in quant finance. I want to stay in the area right after graduation, if possible. What are the best quant firms that are either headquartered in Boston or have legit offices here? I’ve seen Arrowstreet Capital by looking on LinkedIn, but I don’t know who else is in the area or who hires out of undergrad. Thanks!

To my knowledge, there aren't a lot of prop shops with offices in Boston. However, Bracebridge Capital is quantitative in nature and so is Weiss Asset Management. Both recruit heavily from Harvard/MIT and take interns for junior summer with recruiting starting in the spring of your sophomore year.
