Renaissance Tech is an interesting read. Here's a couple of stand out items I cherry picked for no particular reason what-so-ever... According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Renaissance is the top financial firm contributing to federal campaigns in the 2016 election cycle, donating $33,108,000 by July.[33] By comparison, over that same period sixth ranked Soros Fund Management has contributed $13,238,551.[33] On 25 September 2008, Renaissance wrote a comment letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission, discouraging them from implementing a rule change that would have permitted the public to access information regarding institutional investors' short positions, as they can currently do with long positions. The company cited a number of reasons for this, including the fact that "institutional investors may alter their trading activity to avoid public disclosure".[32]
