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.
##[有声书] 因为格外喜欢数学天才的故事,所以这本听下来觉得还是相当精彩的!尤其是Simons团队以机器学习算法为主体的投资方案,虽然书也没有揭秘多少,但对于我这种对投资毫无了解的读者来说,大概念讲得清晰,逸闻趣事也是丰富多彩。早期和发迹的故事固然好听,但印象最深的反而是结尾处关于这些金融大鳄们“涉足”政治,尤其是2016年Trump的当选和之后的种种,多少让人有些唏嘘。另外Simons的philanthropy也是杠杠的,不说书里提到的高光项目了,哪怕是AMS提供的Simons Travel Grant也是资助了我好多数学同事们的科研项目,真是惠及无数啊!所以有钱还是别参与政治,多给广大人民提供摸得到的帮助吧,哈哈!

评分 评分##还真就鸡肋呗,读之无味弃之可惜… WSJ出来的那帮人怎么写得都一样,全部一个套路。浅尝即止,没有任何特殊的思考角度,深度,对市场或者人物性格剖析。最多只能感叹一句Simons真的是天选之子,又获得傲人学术成就又能赚大钱,但是同时又很可怜两次白发人送黑发人。他们根本没有solved the market啊??他们也不知道自己策略为什么work好吗。最后,据说这次危机里面文艺复兴已经亏了20%了… 所以说不能太早写传记
评分##一本全面的介绍,Jim Simons早期作为一名天才的数学家获得了成功,后来他成功破解了苏联的通讯密码,并以文艺复兴科技公司为代表在金融投资界掀起了一场革命。通过使用海量数据、算法和计算,他改变了全球金融的运作方式。在积累了巨大的财富之后,他现在是众多组织和进步倡议的有力资助者。https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/lgRbyYyMCc1SgzX7ElJWwQ
