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##講Jim Simons成立文藝復興前的那一段很有意思,Mercer的政治影響也有意思。不要期待有太多量化乾貨,但看上去也還靠譜。超級多的小八卦和趣聞軼事。
評分 評分##19#15 (又一本)曾經求翻而未得的書。略有失望,但仍然有趣,結尾稍弱,整體隻能算是中規中矩。Simmons雖然招募瞭一支纔華橫溢的科學傢團隊,“launch”瞭量化革命,但嚴格地“the man who solved the market”的標題有標題黨之嫌。與LTCM之間的對比很有趣。但大奬章仍然是那個神秘的大奬章,中間幾個章節充斥著“進一步改進瞭算法”、“效果拔群”之類的描述,但乾貨太少。作為2019年最後一本書(highly likely),希望自己明年也能solve一些東西吧。
