In our opinion, the financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. #### *Basis for Opinion* The financial statement is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statement based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit of this financial statement in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statement, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statement. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. February 15, 2024 We have served as the Company's auditor since 2015. {5}------------------------------------------------ #### **Statement of Financial Condition** | December 31, 2023 | | |------------------------------------------------------------|--------------| | Assets: | | | Cash and cash equivalents | \$ 1,583,162 | | Prepaid expenses | 125,909 | | Fixed assets, net of accumulated depreciation of \$295,014 | 134,747 | | Total Assets | \$ 1,843,818 | | Liabilities and Member's Equity | | | Total Liabilities | \$

Organization and Business** Renaissance Institutional Management LLC ("RIM" or the "Company") was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 18, 2005, and commenced operations on November 1, 2005. RIM is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). RIM provides placement agent and marketing services to Renaissance Technologies LLC ("Renaissance" or the "Member"), an SEC registered investment adviser, with respect to various private investment funds managed by the Member. RIM is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Member. The Company does not claim an exemption under paragraph (k) of 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3. The Company is relying on Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 as the Company limits its business activities exclusively to (1) the private placement of securities; and (2) the referral of clients and investors to the Member, and to private investment funds managed by the Member, and the Company (1) did not directly or indirectly receive, hold, or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers; (2) did not carry accounts of or for customers; and (3) did not carry PAB accounts as defined in Rule 15c3-3 throughout the year ended December 31, 2023, without exception. ### **2. Significant Accounting Policies** #### *Basis of Presentation* The statement of financial condition is presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). All values in the statement of financial condition are stated in U.S. dollars. #### *Cash and Cash Equivalents* Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments with original or remaining maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at one global financial institution. This includes amounts invested in short-term money market instruments. At times, deposits at this institution may exceed federally insured amounts. The Company has not experienced any losses on its cash equivalents during the year ended December 31, 2023 and believes that holding such equivalents does not expose the Company to significant credit risk. The Company did not maintain any restricted cash balances throughout the year ended December 31, 2023. #### *Fixed Assets – Depreciation and Amortization* Fixed assets are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Estimated useful lives range from 3 to 7 years (see note 4). The Company reviews fixed assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable and it exceeds fair value. Management has reviewed fixed assets for impairment; no such impairments were recorded for the year ended December 31, 2023. #### *Use of Estimates* The preparation of the statement of financial condition in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and {7}------------------------------------------------ #### **Notes to Statement of Financial Condition** liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the statement of financial condition. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. #### *Current Expected Credit Losses* Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification 326-20 ("ASC 326- 20"), *Financial Instruments – Credit Losses* requires companies to estimate expected credit losses over the life of financial assets and certain off-balance sheet exposures as of the reporting date based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASC 326-20 requires recording the estimate of expected credit losses as an allowance for credit losses. For the year ended December 31, 2023, there were no financial assets within the scope of this pronouncement and therefore no associated allowances for credit losses or changes in the allowances for credit losses are included in the accompanying statement of financial condition. ### **3. Related Party Transactions** Net receivables from the Member were settled through a deemed distribution to Member of \$979,012 as of December 31, 2023. This deemed distribution and a contribution from Member of \$406,591 are reflected within the Member's equity balance on the statement of financial condition. In the future any net receivables from the Member will be similarly settled on an annual basis. #### **4. Fixed Assets, Net** Fixed assets, net consists of the following: | | Estimated | | |-----------------------------------------------------|--------------|----------------------| | December 31, 2023 | Useful Lives | Amount | | Equipment | 5 years | \$
327,702 | | Furniture and fixtures | 7 years | 44,143 | | Telecommunications | 5 years | 38,662 | | Software | 3 years | 19,254 | | Less: Accumulated depreciation | | 429,761
(295,014) | | Total fixed assets, net of accumulated depreciation | | \$
134,747 | Any maintenance costs that materially increase the useful life of the asset are capitalized to the asset's cost basis. #### **5. Regulatory Net Capital Requirements** As a registered broker-dealer, RIM is subject to the provisions of the SEC's Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of minimum regulatory net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to regulatory net capital, both as defined in Rule 15c3-1, shall {8}------------------------------------------------ #### **Notes to Statement of Financial Condition** not exceed 15 to 1. Regulatory net capital and aggregate indebtedness may fluctuate on a daily basis. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had regulatory net capital of \$1,583,162 and a regulatory net capital requirement of \$5,000. As the Company had no liabilities as of December 31, 2023, the Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to regulatory net capital was 0 to 1 at December 31, 2023. #### **6. Commitments and Contingencies** Management has policies and procedures in place to assess and review for commitments and contingent liabilities. Throughout the year and as of December 31, 2023 there were no such commitments or contingent liabilities. ### **7. Subsequent Events** The Company evaluated all events that occurred from January 1, 2024 through February 15, 2024, the date the statement of financial condition was available to be issued. During the period, the Company did not have any material recognizable subsequent events that would require disclosure in the Company's statement of financial condition.
