Why read it?

1 author picked The Man Who Solved the Market as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book was not only educational to students of the markets but was also entertaining with a compelling narrative storyline that showed how Jim Simons transitioned from a math academician to become the most successful hedge fund manager in history.

Although not stated explicitly, Simons and the team at Renaissance Technologies developed models that adhered to the Casino Paradigm by combining a positive expectancy model with solid risk management protocols.
