    Excellent Interview - the GOAT of Hedge Funds!
    They automated their data processing pipeline such that they are able to rapidly back test strategies. They also have arbitrage in the order book with market making (this was revealed in a suit between former employees). Also using basket options with Deutsche and Barclays saved them $6.8bn in taxes over a 15 year period. Overall Simons is just a genius.

    Great book. Pity that Simons wouldn't let them disclose a little more about the actual techniques. But hey, that's Renaissance Tech. Secrecy was paramount. p.s. if they 'did' manage to do a film about this amazing story, the only actor to play Simons has to be Frank Langella - they're almost identical twins.

    Hi guys,
    First of all, great video and great interview.
    Second, sure its debatable whether Jim is the greatest investor/trader of all time, but why do you say Buffett doesnt compare in terms of returns? Of course Buffett doesnt have 66% return on average, but he certainly did pull more than 100 billions out of the market. Or am I wrong? Additionally, Buffett manages around 400 billions, which it makes harder to get a 66% of return compared with Medallion Fund which is capped with 10 billions.
    Let me know your thoughts.
    Thanks in advance.

      The book specifically states when they created medallion fund and started making those returns - 1988. Initially they’ve put a lot of effort into selecting and switching between brokers and clearing houses to make sure no one can fully track their trades. But the book does provide specific clue: it states they make 300,000 trades per day, with each one having some chance of winning better than a casino. They have a team of mathematicians and scientists responsible for various strategies/formulas/indicators, so each trade is made using one of thousands of strategies, while their supercomputer also discovers some and optimizes them, so even Jim Simons couldn’t always get answers on how each strategy works - they simply mine the data and the computer finds repeatable patterns.
      Looking at all their trades would give you absolutely nothing. This is similar to how AI or machine learning like @deus_trader on Twitter trades. Good luck hiring 3000 scientists to figure this out.

    I want to read the book, sounds fascinating. It's notable that near the end he says it is short-term but NOT high frequency! I always wondered that. (So this is not "Flash Boys!)
    But this interview makes me wonder if the author honestly deals with Robert Mercer's politics. Mercer
    brought us Kelly Anne Conway, Steve Bannon, Cambridge Analytica, Brexit, and Donald Trump. In other words, nearly single-handedly he has destroyed the UK and the US and NATO and the EU (for the benefit of himself, and also of Putin)...
    Jim Simons has given a lot of $$ to environmental causes (he built a beautiful park I visited near Stony Brook, NY in memory of a son who tragically died in a bike accident) and to mathematics and physics research, and also to the (establishment as far as I know) Democratic party (like Hillary unfortunately, again as far as I have read). But Mercer's money invested in far-right politics and paranoid conspiracy theories has had a negative impact on politics, the environment (he denies climate change) and vicious social and tax policies (augmenting income and wealth inequality and hurting education and science in general) that far far far outweighs all the good Simons has done. It's an enormous tragedy and affects all of us. It's not just Mercer's doing; somehow Bannon got in his ear. I wonder how much Putin may have gotten influence there too....because Brad Parscale and Cambridge Analytica (thru Facebook) and the FSB/GRU were all pursuing similar data-and algorithm-driven disinformation and vote suppression strategies. Since Mueller didn't look at a lot of that, and since a lot is redacted or still secret, we still have no real idea. Moreover, that is ongoing , is extremely effective and very well could give Trump another 4 years....

      I’m just curious on the execution of their methods. Do they do quants to quantify a company and buy and hold like buffett? Or do they just look at price data and buy and sell data and consumer data to day trade or swing trade. In other words what is their trade window/horizon?

      @@kidze73 It is complicated but they utilize multiple algorithms and troves of data to generate a model that maximizes returns. Holding period for a fund like that would be quarter to quarter & maybe a bit quicker than that bc if a model/strategy says it's time to sell they sell. Medallion Fund which is much smaller (by design) can move more nimbly than a larger fund.

      Kidze The interview specifically talked about Jim Simons not knowing anything about companies, or their finances. They only looked at stock price data. Their average holding period is 2 days and the book specifically talks about this short holding period being their most important breakthrough. They were first to do this while it was common assumptions that all funds most hold their positions for months.
