"After leaving academia in the mid-1970s because its pace was “too slow,” Simons used capital from earlier investments to launch Renaissance Technologies. In the early 1980s, he plucked mathematicians and scientists from universities to pursue highly technical, quasi-scientific techniques for investing. Simons’ mathematical approach netted handsome returns. That’s when he hit a snag. “As an employer,” he said, “it’s more and more difficult for me, if that were my objective, to hire Americans or American-trained-and-born people into the company. We hire research guys in math and physics in reasonable numbers, and almost all of them are non-U.S.” |
