WhoBought prefers filings whose value units validate and labels a sparse filing when validation is unavailable. Industry labels come from the local company classification record.

When did Jim Simons die?

Simons died in New York City on May 10, 2024, at age 86. Renaissance Technologies continues as a firm; this page tracks the firm's filings, not a portfolio he still managed.

Where did Jim Simons study mathematics?

He completed a mathematics degree at MIT in 1958 and earned a PhD from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1961, when he was 23.

What was Jim Simons known for in mathematics?

Simons worked in geometry and topology and, with Shiing-Shen Chern, developed ideas now associated with Chern-Simons theory. His research later became important in mathematical physics.

Was Jim Simons a codebreaker?

Yes. He worked on codebreaking for the National Security Agency in 1964 and then joined the Institute for Defense Analyses, while also teaching mathematics at MIT and Harvard.

How did Jim Simons start Renaissance Technologies?

He first founded an investment firm called Monemetrics, then renamed it Renaissance Technologies. The firm developed trading models from market data and launched the Medallion Fund in 1988.

What was Jim Simons's investment strategy?

Simons built teams of mathematicians and scientists to search market data for patterns. Renaissance used mathematical models and algorithms rather than relying mainly on conventional stock-picking judgments.

What was the Medallion Fund's track record?

Wikipedia reports an average annual return of 66.1 percent before fees and 39.1 percent after fees from 1988 through 2018. Those are historical Medallion figures, not the return of the 13F holdings displayed here.

Can outside investors invest in the Medallion Fund?

No. Medallion is closed to outside investors. Simons retired at the start of 2010 and remained Renaissance's nonexecutive chairman afterward.

Is this Jim Simons's personal portfolio or the Medallion Fund?

Neither. The holdings table shows Renaissance Technologies' latest Form 13F disclosure, while the quarterly-changes view shows how those reported positions moved. A 13F does not reveal the firm's full quantitative strategy, shorts, or every Medallion trade.
