Gregory Zuckerman
“Scientists and mathematicians are trained to dig below the surface of the chaotic, natural world to search for unexpected simplicity, structure, and even beauty.”
Gregory Zuckerman, The Man Who Solved the Market: How Jim Simons Launched the Quant Revolution

Gregory Zuckerman
“For all the unique data, computer firepower, special talent, and trading and risk-management expertise Renaissance has gathered, the firm only profits on barely more than 50 percent of its trades, a sign of how challenging it is to try to beat the market—and how foolish it is for most investors to try.”
Gregory Zuckerman, The Man Who Solved the Market: How Jim Simons Launched the Quant Revolution

Gregory Zuckerman
“Elsewhere, statisticians were using similar approaches—called kernel methods—to analyze patterns in data sets. Back on Long Island, Henry Laufer was working on similar machine-learning tactics in his own research and was set to share it with Simons and others. Carmona wasn’t aware of this work. He was simply proposing using sophisticated algorithms to give Ax and Straus the framework to identify patterns in current prices that seemed similar to those in the past.”
Gregory Zuckerman, The Man Who Solved the Market: How Jim Simons Launched the Quant Revolution

Gregory Zuckerman
“Monemetrics would invest a bit of money for Simons, testing strategies in a variety of markets. If the tactics looked profitable, Simons would place the same trades in Limroy, which was much bigger and would invest for outsiders as well as for Simons. Baum would share in the 25 percent cut the firm claimed from all its trading profits.”
Gregory Zuckerman, The Man Who Solved the Market: How Jim Simons Launched the Quant Revolution

“When the Axcom team started testing the approach, they quickly began to see improved results. The firm began incorporating higher dimensional kernel regression approaches, which seemed to work best for trending models, or those predicting how long certain investments would keep moving in a trend.”
