Which top macro funds hire quants heavily?

April 18th, 2013, 3:54 pm

I'm not talking quant developers, some of whom most macro funds would need, I'd imagine.Rather, I'm talking serious quant researchers, quant PMs, quant strategy analysts, etc.I'm thinking two categories here:1. Quant funds that focus on macro stuff: I'm thinking quantitative macroeconomic signals, dynamic asset allocation, things like that. I'd guess most large asset managers must do some of this, but which ones are known for being relatively more quant-y?2. Macro funds that use quants extensively: I don't really know this universe. I'm thinking places like Bridgewater, which I've heard as an example of a macro fund that uses quant analytics heavily. Is this true? What are some other examples?

there a lot of systematic macro funds. names like AQR, Blackrock, GSAM, Brevan Howard standout. But im sure there are many other smaller ones.

Thanks for your thoughts. I think my question was ambiguously stated. I don't mean "heavily" as in "numerous in quantity", but "heavily" as in "utilized extensively/importantly/critically".
