You forgot to mention that the external funds have performed exceedly well (20+%/year) over the past 15 years even after a 44% performance fee.

Also the external funds are different strategies than Medallion.

> 2020, Renaissance funds' performance ...

Since this is in reply to me, let me ask, what's the implication here? The tone of your post sounds like you disagree with me, but it's not clear what exactly you disagree with? Grandparent claimed that no-one can beat the market. I said that Renaissance Medallion Fund beats the market. Then you post a single-year performance of +76%, which is a really good performance for 2020. So... you agree with me?

I don't disagree with you that individuals can outperform the market.

I do think it's worth pointing out that that doesn't mean that the average retail investor will generally outperform the market, even if they're sophisticated enough to have even heard of Renaissance.

If I were investing someone else's money, I'd be happy to put a little in RIEF and RIDA in exchange for medallion shares.
