Depends deeply on the time period and this list is most likely due to survivor bias. See Warren Buffet's hedge fund bet as a good semi recent example.

He was daring a human-managed fund to outperform S&P500. I don't think Warren is an authority on market's microstructure and quant trading, which these companies exploit.

Basically on very quick trades machines outperform humans. For long term investment a prediction market (stock market index) outperforms humans and machines.
