Yes, crazy performance but I understand that he kept his fund on the smaller side deliberately. His methods and strategy might not have worked at scale.

It's crazy to see Renaissance Technology as large shareholders in many of the nano-caps I look at, but that money has to go somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatstheofficerproblem Posted Friday at 09:14 PM Share Posted Friday at 09:14 PM 39% annualized after fees.. Jim is the goat. He also has a lot of goodwill in the stem research space especially in the quant start up space, funded so many labs/companies that couldn't find funding elsewhere.
