Pockets of Talent in Finance

Something I am curious about, is what the current day pockets of talent are in finance. In the past, we had Drexel Burnham, GS Special Sits and Risk Arb Groups, and Tiger Management.

What shops/groups, more recently, have created some of the most generational investors (some that come to mind for me are Viking and Kleiner Perkins)? Which shops/groups do you think will go down in history as being a great hotbed of talent like the aforementioned in 2-3 decades (I imagine the usual suspects here will probably be like BX PE, and PJT RSSG)?
