Jim Simons' Medallion Fund is the best hedge fund that we have come across. The firm charges a fixed 5% management fee and takes 44% of the returns generated. After these expenses are deducted Medallion provided an average annual return of 35% to its investors. A couple of months ago, our calculations showed that Medallion's annual alpha is 34%. The success of Medallion fund is why Jim Simons is one the wealthiest people on the planet.
Medallion fund usually trades in small quantities. The median position size is less than $2.5 million. However, Jim Simons has some positions in his portfolio that are as large as $445 million. These positions were probably acquired for Simons' Renaissance Institutional Equities Fund (RIEF). RIEF isn't nearly as successful as Medallion but managed to beat the index funds since inception. We compiled Jim Simons' high dividend stock picks that were at least $50 million at the end of June.
