Bestselling author and veteran Wall Street Journal reporter Gregory Zuckerman answers the question investors have been asking for decades: How did Jim Simons do it?
Jim Simons is the greatest money maker in modern financial history. His track record bests those of legendary investors including Warren Buffett, Peter Lynch, Ray Dalio, and George Soros. Yet Simons and his strategies are shrouded in mystery. Wall Street insiders have long craved a view into Simons's singular mind, as well as the definitive account of how his secretive hedge fund, Renaissance Technologies, came to dominate financial markets. Bestselling author and Wall Street Journal reporter Gregory Zuckerman delivers the goods.
After a legendary career as a mathematician at MIT and Harvard, and a stint breaking Soviet code for the U.S. government, Simons set out to conquer financial markets with a radical approach. He hired mathematicians, physicists, and computer scientists, most of whom knew little about finance. Experts scoffed as Simons built Renaissance Technologies from a dreary Long Island strip mall. He amassed piles of data and developed algorithms to hunt for deeply hidden patterns in the numbers--patterns that reveal rules governing all markets.
Simons and his colleagues became some of the richest individuals in the world and their data-driven approach launched a quantitative revolution on Wall Street. They also anticipated dramatic shifts in society. Eventually, governments, sports teams, hospitals, and businesses in almost every industry embraced Simons's methods.
Simons and his team used their newfound wealth to upend society. Simons has become a major influence in scientific research, education, and politics, while senior executive Robert Mercer is more responsible than anyone else for Donald Trump's victorious presidential campaign. The Renaissance team's models didn't prepare executives for the ensuing backlash.
The Man Who Solved the Market is the dramatic story of how Jim Simons and a group of unlikely mathematicians remade Wall Street and transformed the world.

評分##終於讀完瞭這本關於最牛逼(之一)也最神秘的對衝基金文藝復興,和其創始人Jim Simons的流水賬……Good life story,最後談到2018年12月美股crash的時候,即使是Simons也打電話給自己的Family Office 負責人,問”我們要不要做空市場來對衝風險“?所以理性決策是多麼多麼難……
評分##比外麵看到的要艱辛許多。

評分##大奬章作為人類曆史上投資迴報最高的基金,其在寬客心中如上帝般高高在上。此書帶給我的最大震撼,是寬客之神西濛斯的三次非量化之舉。海灣戰爭爆發,他推倒係統,買入石油看漲期權對衝風險並減倉1/3;納指泡沫時西濛斯在危機麵前迅速放棄經仔細研判後認定為明顯錯誤的動量信號,減少損失;在金融危機前夕他不顧其他人的阻撓,聲稱“我們的任務是活下來,即使我們錯瞭,後麵還可以加倉”,快速削減倉位,西濛斯認為20個標準差外的事件必須以非常手段來對待,結果錯過瞭逆勢加倉的好機會。最近的18年底西濛斯還給自己的信托基金緻電要求做空部分倉位以對衝風險。西濛斯這類不惜犧牲對係統決策的信仰而尋求自保的態度也促使他在89年救基金於水火,快速撤離,避免瞭自己的券商倒閉,期權過期的窘境--當你嗅到煙味,就趕緊他媽的逃!
