Read the article before jumping into an argument with uninformed speculation.
They distribute profits to keep the fund capped at about $10B.
- icedchai 10y agoYeah, I read that. They don't tell you how often they raise the caps.
- giarc 10y ago>Renaissance currently caps Medallion’s assets between $9 billion and $10 billion, about twice what it was a decade ago. Profits get distributed every six months.
- icedchai 10y agoI can read, thanks. That doesn't answer the question. How often do they raise the caps? What happened before 10 years ago?
- giarc 10y agoIf it was $5b in 2006 and $10b in 2016 then you can speculate how often they raise it. Your prediction that $1 million would turn into $4.5b, and the fact that the fund sits at $10b clearly indicates they distribute profits more than they raise the cap.
- icedchai 10y agoThat wasn't my prediction, it was sixQuarks. All I'm saying is some percentage of the fund is left to compound.
- giarc 10y agoNo. So let's say it was $5b in 2006 and they were letting it compound. By 2016, at 35% interest compounding it would be worth over $100b. So by the simple fact that they raised the cap in 2016 to $10b (and the fund was not worth $100b) tells you that they are not letting it compound and as the article states, dividing the insane profits.
