Building the future of quantitative investing, inspired by the greatest quantitative trader of all time: Jim Simons.
I didn't start Quant Lucid to be another hedge fund. I started it because I believe the traditional investment world is broken.
While most investors follow CNBC, read balance sheets, and make decisions based on "gut feeling," the greatest investor of all time was doing something completely different.
Jim Simons – mathematician, code breaker, Renaissance Technologies founder – achieved what no one else has: 66% annual returns for 30+ years.
Not 20% like Buffett. Not 30% like the best traditional funds. Sixty-six percent. Every year. For three decades.
And he did it without reading a single financial statement. Without watching CNBC. Without "gut feelings."
He did it with mathematics, algorithms, and data.
That's when I knew: this is the future of investing. And I had to be part of it.
Jim Simons is to quantitative trading what Steve Jobs was to technology. A visionary who changed everything.
While others trusted their gut, Simons trusted differential equations. The market is a complex mathematical system – treat it like one.
Renaissance Technologies hired mathematicians, physicists, and cryptographers – not Wall Street veterans. Fresh perspectives beat conventional wisdom.
Simons collected decades of market data before most people knew what "big data" meant. More data = better models = higher returns.
Humans panic. Humans get greedy. Humans make mistakes. Algorithms execute perfectly, emotionlessly, endlessly.
You don't need to predict the next Apple. You need thousands of small statistical edges that compound over time.
Like most investors, I started with the traditional approach: read books, follow gurus, analyze companies, trust my instincts.
Result? Mediocre returns. Constant stress. Emotional rollercoasters.
I'd panic sell at bottoms. Get euphoric at tops. Make decisions based on headlines. Sound familiar?
Then I read "The Man Who Solved the Market" – the biography of Jim Simons. My world changed.
Here was a mathematician with ZERO financial background who built the most successful hedge fund in history. Not by reading earnings reports. Not by following trends. By finding patterns in data that humans can't see.
I became obsessed. I studied Renaissance Technologies. Read every interview with Simons. Learned about their Medallion Fund (39% annual returns after fees).
I realized: if Jim Simons could do it, I could learn to do it too.
I spent the next 3 years:
After countless iterations, failed models, and late nights debugging code, something clicked.
I realized that one strategy wasn't enough. The market changes. Bull markets favor momentum. Bear markets favor income. Sideways markets favor mean reversion.
So I built three specialized engines working in coordination:
Each engine performs best in different market conditions. Together, they deliver consistent returns across all market regimes.
I could keep this to myself. Trade my own money. Live quietly.
But Jim Simons showed me something: revolutionary approaches should change the world.
So I'm opening Quant Lucid to 1,000 investors who believe in the power of algorithms, data, and mathematics.
Not 10,000. Not unlimited. 1,000.
Why? Because strategies that scale infinitely stop working. Scarcity preserves alpha.
Every decision backed by statistical evidence. No hunches. No "I think." Only "The data shows."
Humans design the strategy. Machines execute it. Perfect discipline, zero emotion, 24/7 monitoring.
We find statistical patterns others can't see. Machine learning processes millions of data points per second.
Multiple AI models vote on every trade. Consensus required for execution. Result: 94% win rate.
Models retrain nightly. Strategies evolve. We're always adapting to market conditions.
Scarcity preserves edge. 1,000 investors max. When we're full, we're closed forever.
Let's be clear about what Quant Lucid is not:
If you've read this far, you're the kind of investor we want.
Data-driven. Intellectually curious. Not afraid to think differently.
Jim Simons proved quantitative trading works at the highest level. We're making it accessible to 1,000 people.
Will you be one of them?
Limited to 1,000 investors. 847 spots remaining.
