D.E. Shaw & Co Portfolio holdings
D. E. Shaw & Co. is an investment firm founded in 1988 by David E. Shaw, who had been a computer science professor at Columbia University. It started over a small bookstore in downtown New York and became a pioneer in computational finance, using math models and software to profit from market anomalies. Its funds rely heavily on computer-driven methods and its own technology to support fundamental research, and it also makes private equity investments in areas such as technology, wind power and real estate. Shaw ran the firm until 2001, then stepped back from daily involvement to focus on D. E. Shaw Research, where he is chief scientist and heads a research group in computational biochemistry. In the mid-1990s it also set up a brokerage and founded the email provider Juno Online Services. An Executive Committee chaired by Anne Dinning leads the firm.
