He and his fund are known to be quantitative investors, using mathematical models and algorithms to make investment gains from market inefficiencies.

For example, in 2020, Renaissance Medallion Fund surged over 76%. According to most people, Simmons is the best fund manager of all time based on his performance. He has also demonstrated that you don’t need to have a degree in finance to become successful.
