The Man Who Solved the Market: How Jim Simons Launched the Quant Revolution by Gregory Zuckerman
4.0
Very interesting book about historically tightlipped fund. Author has an impressive level of access and historical knowledge, I know this because I’ve watched just about every available YouTube video that Jim Simons has out there. I never realize just how thin the margins were on stat arb. One of the positives and negatives of the book are the close inside sources that make me both marvel at and wonder to the level of access the author had. You’re not getting all this from a disgruntled employee or two.
My best guess is that we can look to this publication as the moment when RenTec jumped the shark and has decided to coast on their reputation. Jim’s focused on protein folding and is happy with doing a victory lap for the next decade as his fund regresses to the mean.
