They do, the famous fund is Medallion, which is internal only. There's other funds that aren't quite as sexy.

Oh, I see. Why are they split up into multiple funds?

Funds can be split up for any number of reasons including investor specific requirements including leverage limits or volatility limits, etc. Also, more likely the case, their medallion fund strategies probably have some kind of capacity limit. I.e. Can't put too much capital into it before they start to suffer.
