James Harris Simons (April 25, 1938 – May 10, 2024) was an American hedge fund manager, mathematician, and philanthropist. He was the founder of Renaissance Technologies, a quantitative hedge fund based in East Setauket, New York. He and his fund are known to be quantitative investors, using mathematical models and algorithms to make investment gains from market inefficiencies.
