James Simmons hedge fund manager formula

Does anyone know the formula that James Simmons uses to manage his hedge fund. Now I realize that nobody knows the exact formula on this website. I am looking for someone to point me and who ever else is curious, in the right direction.

 

I may be wrong.

But I believe he has siloed teams looking for edge in the market. Any given signal they find may have low trading value perhaps below slippage//transaction costs. When you start to combine a ton of signals it develops a bigger edge.

Also why no one can really replicate the strategy because non of the teams have the full strategy.

 

The strategies also do not last forever. He has stated that the half life of a strategy has declined significantly over the life of the fund. The teams are constantly coming up with new strategies, and only about 5% of current strategies are the original
