Unknown French quant hedge fund

Hello fellow apes.

Have any of you heard much about "Capital Fund Management" in Paris? They have $7bnAUMand their board consists of a bunch of physics PhDs and engineers. Apparently their strategies come from the field of "econophysics", which seems to me to be reminiscent of the scientific approachutilised by Renaissance Technologies.

Do you guys think CFM's any good?

Yup ! It the pioneer ofHFTin France. Traditionally, The boss, J-P Bouchaud (i invite you to see his lecture, research papers) recruit PhDs from top engineering schools (i.e : Ecole Polytechnique, Ecole Normale Superieure). Most of the strategies are based on Market Microstructure. Today, they are also bring Alternative Data to enhance some strategies.
