All these funds have some commonalities: highly statistical in nature, high probability trades, correlations, algorithms executing trades. But finding out any of the internals of these funds is next to impossible unless one has an "in".
Does anyone on HN have some perspective on how these funds operate (renaissance, AQR funds etc.) ?
- qwrusz 10y agoI can't offer too much insight, sorry. But I will say the "quant" fund label is very broad. RenTec and AQR both hire PhDs and use computers to trade, but AQR offers mutual funds with daily liquidity and they publicly disclose much more info - RenTec as a private fund has more flexibility in what it can do. Correspondingly, how a fund uses risk and takes on leverage can make a big difference.
