Bloomberg – Hedge funds that rely on computer programs to trade are producing some of the highest returns in the industry after a particularly profitable November. Two Sigma, a $24 billion firm run by a former artificial intelligence academic and a mathematics olympian, rose 10 percent last month in one of its strategies and is up 47 percent this year.
Cantab Capital Partners jumped 18 percent in its main fund in November and has returned 32 percent this year and Aspect Capital advanced 12 percent for the month, doubling its return in 2014.
