}}D. E. Shaw & Co., L.P. is a multinational investment management firm founded in 1988 by David E. Shaw and based in New York City.[2] The firm has offices in New York, Boston, Hong Kong, Hyderabad, Shanghai, London and Bermuda. D. E. Shaw & Co. has delivered the fifth-highest returns of any hedge fund in the world since inception.[3]

History

The firm was founded by David E. Shaw, a former Columbia University faculty member with a Stanford PhD, and has more than 1,300 employees.[4] David Shaw directed the company from 1988 to 2001. In 2002, David Shaw removed himself from day-to-day involvement in the firm, and transitioned leadership to a team of six managing directors: Anne Dinning, Julius Gaudio, Louis Salkind, Stuart Steckler, Max Stone and Eric Wepsic.[4] The firm's management structure of the same six-member executive committee remained intact through 2010.[5][6]

Bank of America

In 1997, the firm returned capital to most of its early investors in favor of a structured credit facility of nearly $2 billion from Bank of America, with terms that allowed D.E. Shaw & Co. to keep a higher fraction of profits than hedge fund investors normally allow.[7] In effect, Bank of America provided an infusion of $1.4 billion to D.E. Shaw, hoping to benefit from the latter's investment expertise.[8] One year later, Russia defaulted on its debt resulting in large losses for D.E. Shaw's fixed-income trading portfolio.[9] As a result, Bank of America lost $570 million due to its investment in D.E. Shaw, and paid out an additional $490 million to settle associated shareholder lawsuits.[8]

Private equity

In December 2003, a subsidiary of one of the company's funds acquired the toy store FAO Schwarz, which reopened for business in New York and Las Vegas in the fall of 2004. In the same year, D. E. Shaw affiliate Laminar Portfolios acquired the online assets of KB Toys, which continued operating as eToys.com.[10] In August 2004, D. E. Shaw & Co., along with MIC Capital, proposed to inject $50M into the bankrupt WCI Steel. In December 2004, D.E. Shaw & Co. bought 6.6% of USG Corporation, a wallboard manufacturer seeking bankruptcy protection as a result of rising asbestos liabilities.[11]

In late 2009 during the Financial Crisis, it was reported that D.E. Shaw & Co. had set up a portfolio acquisitions unit, the aim of which was to acquire illiquid assets from rival hedge funds.[12]

Expansion in India

D.E. Shaw entered the Indian market in 2006,[13] with Anil Chawla, then the CEO of GE-Commercial finance, India & South East Asia, as the Country Manager. The India operations were initially headquartered in Hyderabad, Telangana. D.E. Shaw entered into several large private equity deals in the country. These included a joint-venture with India's largest private sector company, Reliance Industries, to provide financial services.[14] Other investments included real estate company DLF Assets Limited and publishing group Amar Ujala Publications, which were subject to Indian regulatory scrutiny and legal disputes.[15][16] Chawla left his position with D.E. Shaw in 2012. D.E. Shaw scaled down its private equity activities in India after 2013.[17]

Lehman Brothers

In 2007, David Shaw sold a 20% stake to Lehman Brothers, as part of a broader strategy to diversify his personal holdings.[18] D.E. Shaw had $30 billion of assets under management in 2007.[8] At the time of its bankruptcy in September 2008, Lehman Brothers holdings in D.E. Shaw & Co. remained intact.[19]

In 2015, Hillspire, the family office of Google chairman Eric Schmidt, acquired the 20% passive ownership stake in DESCO from Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.[20]

Investment strategy

The company manages a variety of investment funds that make extensive use of quantitative methods and proprietary computational technology to support fundamental research in the management of its investments.[5][21][22] The company also uses qualitative analysis to make private equity investments in technology, wind power, real estate, and financial services firms and in distressed company financing.[4]

In addition to its financial businesses, D. E. Shaw & Co. has provided private equity capital to technology-related business ventures, including Juno Online Services, an Internet access provider, and Farsight, an online financial services platform that was acquired by Merrill Lynch.[23][24] The company had $40 billion in aggregate capital[25][26] and $15.6 billion in hedge fund assets under management as of 2011, and was ranked as the 21st-largest hedge fund by Institutional Investor.[25]

In 2016, D.E. Shaw Group ranked 18th on Penta's Top 100 Hedge Funds.[27]

Corporate responsibility

D. E. Shaw supports educational programs such as the American Regions Mathematics League,[28] Worldwide Online Olympiad Training (WOOT), United States of America Mathematics Olympiad and the International Mathematics Olympiad, Mathematical Olympiad Program, the MIT 6.370 Battlecode Competition,[29] and The Center for Excellence in Education.[30]

Prominent former employees

In 2006, Lawrence Summers was hired as managing director at D.E. Shaw & Co. He left in 2008, receiving $5.2 million in compensation for one year's work.[31]

Other former employees of DESCO include Jeff Bezos, Two Sigma founder John Overdeck, and mathematician Cathy O'Neil.
