The Agenda 👇

  • Everyone has been writing about Jim Simons recently

  • It intrigued me, and I started reading The Man Who Solved the Market

  • It tells a compelling yet rather common story: that of doing capitalism

  • Only in this case, it’s about doing capitalism in financial services

  • And that’s neither as obvious nor as easy as it sounds! Just ask Jim Simons 😉

  • Below are my notes on the first half of the book
