Finance novice beats hedge fund pros, winning $100k in Quantopian trading contest

Kiehne generated better than 90 percent annualized return on investment during the month, beating out a full-time NYC hedge fund CEO, who came in second, and a telecom specialist from Barcelona who finished third. He also had exceptionally stable results, according to Fawcett. The company is already in the midst of its March contest and will award another $100,000 at the end of the month. Kiehne, like all future winners, cannot participate in subsequent contests until his six-month asset management prize is completed.
