A Hedge Fund as a Function

Frank LongCoatueHead of AI

Frank Long models an investment firm as a function that turns external and internal context into selection, size, and timing. The engineering challenge appears when that function is decomposed into work that code, models, and people can each perform well.

Self-Improving Organizations

Will BrownPrime IntellectApplied Research
