And yet no one at RenTec would consider themselves an “investor”, at least in any traditional sense of the word.

And boy does it work: RenTec's alchemic colossus has posted annual returns in the firm's flagship Medallion Fund of 68% gross and 40% net over the past 34 years, while never once losing money.

In this interview on the ALPHA MIND podcast, hosts STEVEN GOLDSTEIN & MARK RANDALL interview Professor Keating about some of the connections which bind trading, investing, and science. Brian talks about how scientists, despite being held on some sort of an intellectual pedestal, are human, and are just as prone to the foibles and behavioral errors which are common to people in all fields, including trading. The theme, which resonates throughout this interview, alludes to the meta game of science and trading, something which was captured in a quote by Dr. Keating, and which featured prominently in Greg Zuckerman's 2019 book about the trading legend Jim Simons, ‘The Man Who Solved the Market: How Jim Simons Launched the Quant Revolution.' The quote is: ‘Scientists are human, sometimes all too human. When desire and data are in collision, evidence sometimes loses out to emotion.' Themes explored in this interview are; confirmation bias, ego, and our ability, or even inability, to separate our outcomes from our ego. https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-alphamind-podcast/id1467395734 Learn more about your ad choices.

For this episode of the Rational Reminder Podcast, we review our year by playing back and discussing a collection of the most impactful moments of the show from 2020. This has been a drastic year filled with many learnings for us all, and in today’s show, we cover topics of happiness, decision making, dealing with uncertainty, and the connection that financial planning and investing have to all of this. We collect some amazing gems of wisdom from guests like Annie Duke, Ken French, Michael Kitces, Patricia Lovett-Reid, and a whole lot more, whittling down an original list of over one hundred of this year’s finest moments to a collection of just 45. The show starts out exploring themes of the connection between wealth and happiness, keeping cool in stressful times, and the transformations that crises kickstart. From there, we talk about the importance of models and systems for informing investing and behaviour in general, and the idea that unexpected outcomes swamp expected ones in the short term. We also look at what market history has to say about staying in your seat rather than market timing when things look bleak. Next up, we cover themes of the value of a flexible approach to retirement spending, how families should think about financial planning, whether 60/40 portfolios are dead, and why stock market returns in the U.S. are higher under Democratic presidents. Moving onto the subject of decision making, we explore some of our guests’ thoughts on evaluating decisions, outcomes bias and the role of luck, and more. We also consider the topic of human capital, how it relates to investing, and what we should really be spending our time on. The subject of the convergence of brokerage firms and financial advisors then leads to a great exploration of the role of financial advisors. We wrap up with some extra special perspectives on how optimal financial planning should be geared around the person that you want to be rather than maximizing wealth for the sake of it. Tune in today for an amazing overview of the year and to hear all the ways we have changed and grown thanks to our incredible guests.

We are delighted to have Gregory Zuckerman, a long-time journalist for the Wall Street Journal on the show to discuss his book: The Man Who Solved the Market, the often-dramatic story of how Jim Simons and a group of unlikely mathematicians applied their skillsets to become some of the most successful investors of all time. Simons is a “quant”, which means his strategies use purely data to invest—they don't read the news, or even look at company earnings much, they just do what their formulas tell them to do. This type of approach is of special interest these days as quants are not only all the rage, but many are finding that data alone is not a panacea for successful investing. All of this is just a part of what makes Jim Simons so interesting. He and his strategies have always been shrouded in mystery, and Wall Street insiders have always wanted a look in to Simmons's mind and approach. Greg Zuckerman, who is a 20-year veteran at The Wall Street Journal and three-time winner of the Gerald Loeb award, actually got Simons to open up enough to tell the tale. You can learn more about Greg at gregoryzuckerman.com find him on twitter @Gzuckerman.
Gregory Zuckerman has spent more than twenty-five years covering some of the biggest stories in the private fund industry. Along the way, he developed a keen interest in the incredible investing prowess of Jim Simons and his firm Renaissance Technologies. And Greg wanted to write a book about it. Though reluctant at first, Simons and dozens of current and former Renaissance employees eventually gave Greg unprecedented access. The result was his latest book and New York Times Best Seller, “The Man Who Solved the Market: How Jim Simons Launched the Quant Revolution.” In this episode, Greg talks about the process of writing the book, some of the biggest surprises and hurdles he encountered along the way, and the reaction he’s gotten since its publication. He also talks about his own career and shares some of his insights about the broader private fund industry.

In this episode hosts Mary Spencer and Dan Mikulskis and guest Rory Sturrock review the book “The Man who Solved the Market” by Greg Zuckerman.
Today on the Rational Reminder Podcast we interview a seasoned journalist from The Wall Street Journal, Greg Zuckerman. With 23 years of experience with the media outlet, Greg has written extensively about the most prominent figures in the world of investing, including Jim Simons, John Paulson and Carl Icahn, generally focusing his attention on significant trades, traders and fund managers. In this episode, Greg shares how covering the stories of renowned investors and fund managers have influenced his investment philosophy. Specifically, we get into his book about John Paulson, The Greatest Trade Ever, and why Greg reckons Paulson never managed to achieve the same level of success following this famous trade. His work on the founder of Renaissance Technologies, Jim Simons, also produces fascinating points of discussion, including why their Medallion Fund became so successful and how capping the size of the fund contributed to its outstanding performance. Greg also talks about the idiosyncratic character of Simons, the role of luck, why taking an algorithmic approach to investing is likely to produce good outcomes in the long run, and why people should not always pay attention to the advice of “smart money” sources like hedge funds.

This week’s guest is Dr Brian Keating, Distinguished Professor of Physics at the University of California, San Diego.In this podcast, we interview Dr Keating about some of the connections which bind trading, investing and science. Dr Keating talks about how scientists, despite being held on some sort of an intellectual pedestal, are human, and are just as prone to the foibles and behavioural errors which are common to people in all fields, including trading.The theme, which resonates throughout this interview, alludes to the meta game of science and trading, something which was captured in a quote by Dr Keating, and which featured prominently in Greg Zuckerman’s 2019 book about the trading legend Jim Simons, ‘The Man Who Solved the Market: How Jim Simons Launched the Quant Revolution.’ The quote is: ‘Scientists are human, sometimes all too human. When desire and data are in collision, evidence sometimes loses out to emotion.’ Amongst main themes explored in this interview are; confirmation bias, ego, and our ability, or even inability, to separate our outcomes from our ego.___________________________________________________________________Dr Keating's research area is the study of the cosmic microwave background and its relationship to the origin and evolution of the universe. In 2001 Dr Keating conceived the first Cosmic Microwave Background B-mode observing campaign, called BICEP, which sought to find evidence of what (and how) the universe looked a fraction of a billionth of a second after the Big Bang Explosion.The BICEP project has been an outstanding success, and is still on-going today, however, it has never quite been able to achieve, unequivocally, its main and original purpose. Had it done so, we would almost certainly be talking to Dr Brian Keating, Nobel Laureate. Dr Keating is the author of the popular science book ‘Losing the Nobel Prize’, which was selected by Amazon as one of the top science books of 2018.

In this episode of the Intelligent Investing Podcast, Eric Schleien sits down with WSJ Veteran Reporter, Gregory Zuckerman, to discuss his book "The Man Who Solved The Market: How Jim Simons Launched The Quant Revolution" Editorial Reviews “Leave it to the Wall Street Journal's Greg Zuckerman to lay open the golden mysteries of quantitative investing. With this fine, humane, and eye-opening book, he's well and truly broken the code.” —James Grant, Grant's Interest Rate Observer “Captivating.” —New York Times “A compelling read.” —The Economist “Reads like a delicious page-turning novel.” —Barry Ritholtz, Bloomberg “One of the most important stories of our time.” —Financial Times “Zuckerman brings the reader so close to the firm's inner workings that you can almost catch a whiff of the billionaire's Merit cigarette.” —Brandon Kochkodin, Bloomberg “A gripping biography of investment game changer Jim Simons… readers looking to understand how the economy got where it is should eat this up.” —Publishers Weekly "Worthwhile reading for budding plutocrats and numerate investors alike." —Kirkus “Immensely enjoyable.” —Edward O. Thorp, author of A Man for All Markets “An extremely well-written and engaging book . . . a must read, and a fun one at that.” —Mohamed A. El-Erian, author of The Only Game in Town "Page-turning tale…bravura storytelling." —Gary Shteyngart, author of Lake Success About The Book NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Shortlisted for the Financial Times/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award The unbelievable story of a secretive mathematician who pioneered the era of the algorithm--and made $23 billion doing it. The Man Who Solved The Market: How Jim Simons Launched The Quant Revolution": Summary Jim Simons is the greatest money maker in modern financial history. No other investor--Warren Buffett, Peter Lynch, Ray Dalio, Steve Cohen, or George Soros--can touch his record. Since 1988, Renaissance's signature Medallion fund has generated average annual returns of 66 percent. The firm has earned profits of more than $100 billion; Simons is worth twenty-three billion dollars. Drawing on unprecedented access to Simons and dozens of current and former employees, Zuckerman, a veteran Wall Street Journal investigative reporter, tells the gripping story of how a world-class mathematician and former code breaker mastered the market. Simons pioneered a data-driven, algorithmic approach that's sweeping the world. As Renaissance became a market force, its executives began influencing the world beyond finance. Simons became a major figure in scientific research, education, and liberal politics. Senior executive Robert Mercer is more responsible than anyone else for the Trump presidency, placing Steve Bannon in the campaign and funding Trump's victorious 2016 effort. Mercer also impacted the campaign behind Brexit. The Man Who Solved the Market is a portrait of a modern-day Midas who remade markets in his own image, but failed to anticipate how his success would impact his firm and his country. It's also a story of what Simons's revolution means for the rest of us.

Jim Simons is the most successful trader of the last 3 decades by a country mile. Simons founded the Renaissance Technologies the secretive Hedge Fund which employs some of the world’s most brilliant mathematical geniuses. Their flagship Medallion fund has returned a staggering 66% annually, before fees, since 1988. In November 2019, Wall Street journalist and author Greg Zuckerman published his book which lifted the veil on Jim Simons and Renaissance. ‘The Man Who Solved the Market: How Jim Simons Launched the Quant Revolution’ tells the story of Simons, his early years, his influences, his prolific rise as a mathematician, and his career as a code-breaker for the US government. It explores Simon’s initial ventures into the world of investing and trading, how Simons vision shaped the direction his firm took, his search for methods and models which could unlock the potential to profit in the markets and how he accumulated a team of world renowned Mathematicians to form Renaissance Technologies. This brilliant book also tells the story of the Renaissance through some of the individuals which were leading figures within the firm, how they found and improved the model which still runs today as the Medallion Fund, and how they launched other highly successful funds. The book also digs below the surface to reveal some of the dramas which occurred within the firm, the battles between personalities, and finally the how the wealth created by one partner, Robert Mercer, was to have a huge influence on the world we live in today, and which without, we may not have had Donald Trump or Brexit. The book is a brilliant read, and in this interview with Zuckerman, we explore his inner thoughts on the book, Simons and Renaissance and discover a little more about what lies behind their extraordinary success.

Greg Zuckerman, a twenty-three-year veteran of the Wall Street Journal, has had a front row seat to some of the biggest financial successes and shakeups over two decades. His latest book, The Man Who Solved the Market, might be his biggest scoop yet: going deep inside the super-secretive hedge fund Renaissance Technologies and tapping into the mind of its reclusive founder, celebrated geometer Jim Simons, the man who used math to become the most successful master of the markets in history.

The fifth episode of Alpha Trader features hosts Aaron Task and Stephen Alpher talking to the WSJ's Greg Zuckerman, author of The Man Who Solved The Market: How Jim Simons Launched The Quant Revolution. Already a highly accomplished mathematician and successful commodities trader, Jim Simons in his mid-40s wanted more, and took his particular set of skills to the far deeper world of stocks. Equities trading then (the mid-80s) was dominated by fundamental analysis, but Simons didn't know the first thing about dissecting a balance sheet or income statement. Simons (and team) relied instead on harnessing massive amounts of data into purely algorithmic strategies for trading stocks. Money soon began rolling in by the truckload - since 1988, Renaissance Technologies' flagship Medallion Fund has generated average annual returns of 66% and trading profits topping $100B. It's also changed the financial world. Today, so-called quants are the largest players in the markets, accounting for about 30% of stock trading. Renaissance is famously secretive, but Zuckerman somehow found a few to open up (just a bit), including Jim Simons himself. It makes for a fascinating story. Sorry, no trading strategies are revealed! Prior to their chat with Zuckerman, Task and Alpher mull last week's big move higher in interest rates. The surge in yields across maturities for now does away with the inverted curve, though it's only modestly sloped upward. The 10-year yield, however, remains relatively low compared to levels seen just a few months ago. Was last week's action the start of a larger trend? Also up for discussion is today's highly-anticipated launch of Disney Plus (DIS), and what that might mean for the world of streaming, Netflix (NFLX) in particular. At $6.99 per month, Disney's service is a good deal cheaper than Netflix's most popular plan. While large numbers of folks might not ditch Netflix for Disney, the days of Netflix's pricing power may be coming to an end.
Josh here - we had Greg Zuckerman of the Wall Street Journal up at the Compound to talk about his new book, The Man Who Solved the Market - the first ever deep dive into Jim Simons and his legendary firm Renaissance Technology. Renaissance has pulled over $100 billion in trading profits out of the markets since its founding decades ago, in a highly secretive approach that combines mathematical equations with cutting edge technology. Zuckerman conducted over 400 interviews with current and former employees of the firm and even spent a few days with Simons himself - despite the fact that he didn't want this story told or the book written.

After reaching records highs last year, the stock market went south in the final months of 2018. In the end, it was the worst year for markets since the 2008 crisis and the worst December since 1931. And the tumult is carrying over into the first week of trading in 2019. What exactly is causing the turmoil? The government shutdown, rising interest rates, and unresolved trade tensions are all contributing to the ups and downs, but one reason for the triple point drops might have to do with how the market itself operates. This week on Money Talking, Charlie Herman speaks with Greg Zuckerman, special writer for the Wall Street Journal, about the increase in computerized trading, how it shapes the market's moves, and what it means for the average investor.
ABOUT THIS EPISODE The son of an Ivy League professor with an early penchant for Wall Street investing, Greg Zuckerman never imagined he would one day be writing about stocks and not trading them. But through a circuitous series of personal events - including stints planning banking conferences, organizing college campus tours and writing for an obscure financial trade journal - he eventually found his unique calling. Zuckerman has spent a career breaking stories, profiling colorful characters - including Donald Trump and Bernie Madoff - and demanding integrity in a beleaguered industry. He has also published fascinating books, together with his teenage son, focused on today's greatest athletes and the adversity they have conquered on their roads to achievement. Enjoy this week's conversation with a passionate and accomplished journalist at the world's financial paper of record. -------------------- ABOUT THIS PODCAST Jews You Should Know introduces the broader community to interesting and inspiring Jewish men and women making a difference in our world.
