This pass independently confirmed AQR Capital Management (One Greenwich Plaza, approximately $187.3 billion AUM as of December 31, 2025), Silver Point Capital (approximately $42 billion AUM as of December 2025), and Verition Fund Management (approximately $12.6 billion AUM as of April 2025) as real, current Greenwich, CT headquarters.
A Real, Honest Correction: Several Famous Funds Have Relocated to Stamford
This record discloses honestly that several hedge funds long associated with Greenwich in public imagination have genuinely relocated their headquarters to nearby Stamford, CT: Tudor Investment Corporation moved from western Greenwich to downtown Stamford in April 2018, and Viking Global Investors (cited at a Greenwich address in SEC filings as recently as 2011-2012) is now Stamford-headquartered. Point72 Asset Management is confirmed Stamford-headquartered, not Greenwich -- this record does not conflate the two towns.
Finance & Insurance Is Greenwich's Highest-Paying Sector
Greenwich residents' top cited employment sectors run Professional/Scientific/Technical Services, Finance & Insurance, and Educational Services, with Finance & Insurance (and Real Estate & Rental & Leasing) cited as the town's highest-paying sectors, both with average earnings above $250,000.
Beyond Finance: Real, Cited Local Employers
Greenwich's own real, cited major local employers beyond the hedge-fund sector include the Town of Greenwich & Board of Education, Bimbo Bakeries USA, and Greenwich Hospital -- a real, disclosed mix this record does not reduce to finance alone, even though finance is genuinely the town's highest-profile sector.
A Real, Cited Fairfield County Unemployment Trend
Fairfield County's unemployment rate ran a real, cited approximately 4.0% as of December 2025, up from approximately 2.80% in December 2024 -- Greenwich-specific figures were not separately available this pass; movers should confirm current, town-specific labor-market data directly if unemployment trends factor into a relocation decision.
