In November last year Congress ask several leading figures from the hedge fund industry to testify about the current credit crisis and whether hedge funds had contributed towards it, Jim was forced to describe his fund and how he traded, it came as no surprise to industry insiders when Jim revealed his flagship Medallion Fund uses pair trading and as Jim says ''we hold balanced portfolios in each country, i.e., portfolios very close to being equally long and short.
