Beating the Index
In the Wednesday conference call, with 250 investors and analysts, Renaissance managers and Mr. Simons told investors that RIEF has done what it is intended to do: beat the index over the long term.
They note that last year's decline of 16% in RIEF still beat the S&P 500, which swooned 38%, they say. This year through April, however, RIEF's 17% decline lags behind the roughly 3% decline in the same period for the S&P 500.
In recent weeks, Renaissance told investors, it has moved some members of its research staff away from Medallion to focus more of their time on RIEF. |
