Description

Jim Simons, the late founder of Renaissance Technologies, achieved a track record that surpasses Warren Buffett and all the other great investment managers – by a lot. In a beautifully written account, The Man Who Solved the Market, Gregory Zuckerman, the Wall Street Journal who previously profiled John Paulson in The Greatest Trade Ever, talks about Renaissance’s unique culture. The firm brought geniuses from far outside the investment world – mathematicians, computer scientists, linguists – together into an effort that, surprisingly, beat the investment community’s best analysts and traders at generating returns and catapulted “quant” investing to the forefront.
