THE MAN WHO SOLVED THE MARKET - GREGORY ZUCKERM...

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.   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.
