Business Description
Renaissance Technologies LLC is an investment management firm founded in 1982 that implements quantitative investment strategies on behalf of its clients. They act as general partner, managing member, and/or investment manager to U.S. and non-U.S. private investment funds (the "Funds") and an institutional account ("Account") that invests in a variety of securities, futures, and derivatives contracts.
Renaissance is owned by two parent companies: Renaissance Technologies Holdings Corporation (with approximately a 78% stake) and RTC II Holdings LLC (with approximately a 22% stake). Each parent company is, in turn, owned by current and certain former principals of the Firm and certain related persons.
Investment Strategy
The Medallion Funds aim to achieve asset appreciation through speculative investment and trading in various securities and futures instruments. The RIEF Funds focus on global equity securities traded on U.S. exchanges and their derivatives, aiming for a long-term risk-adjusted return exceeding the Standard & Poor's 500 Index with dividends reinvested. They strive for a low beta to the Index (0.4 or lower) and lower volatility than the Index, with an expected long-term average leverage of 2.5 to 1.
The RIEF Funds' trading strategy is designed to maintain a net long position of no more than $100 for every $100 of equity. While they typically operate at approximately 100% net long, they may deviate from this during periods of high market volatility, potentially exceeding or falling below the 100% threshold. The RIDA Funds, on the other hand, trade equity securities on global exchanges, but further details about their investment strategy are not provided in the context.
