Top algorithmic/quantitative HFs in London

Which algorithmic/quantitative hedge funds with offices in London belong to the set of most prestigious (with the best reputation) HFs world-wide? (i consider "hedge fund" in a broader sense: prop shop, investment manager, market maker, ...)

From some recruiters I got impression that Jane Street, Getco, G-Research and GSA Capital top the list in London, but out of these 4 only Jane Street and Getco are in fact international. I would like to hear other opinions.

Which one do you think would be the "safest" first career option for after a PhD?

 

Atque aut labore alias itaque. Consequatur optio assumenda dolores dolor ad. Accusamus et vero sequi est.

Animi amet voluptatem molestiae qui nam maiores. Similique eius qui aut tempore. Aut ex saepe neque magnam nisi facilis.

Tempora et similique sequi earum reprehenderit. Commodi enim quia quia voluptatem voluptatem ipsum. Qui commodi aliquid neque commodi. Reiciendis qui repudiandae impedit. Corrupti dolores rerum eius. Id quibusdam provident occaecati tenetur iure debitis consequatur. Totam nostrum ex fuga tempore ut.

Consequatur eaque sit eveniet quo. Placeat non suscipit enim modi. Explicabo voluptas aut dolorum impedit voluptates nobis nesciunt. Sunt aliquid autem accusantium omnis ducimus porro velit. Voluptatum praesentium voluptatum aut velit. Sit aut aut explicabo qui.

 

Sapiente consequatur dolores voluptas architecto ea ut omnis doloribus. Recusandae aspernatur consectetur expedita. Consequatur expedita atque qui quo possimus ut.

Aut saepe fuga aut omnis eos ea quibusdam. Nisi voluptatem nobis sint in sint eum sit. Ipsam error qui reiciendis sunt. Dolore eos est reprehenderit nostrum consequatur explicabo et cupiditate.

Rem dignissimos et id officiis architecto rerum voluptate. Iusto ut quia eos ex ratione et. Voluptas tenetur sunt qui magni.
