Not to be confused with our Dim Jim, Billionaire Jim Simons dies at 86, his fund enjoyed 66% returns between 1988 - 2018, these kind of returns are quite ok and acceptable due to the amounts of money managed if you ask me, much better than the what must be dimwits running our Superfunds here in Oz return thats for sure, our superfunds really need to sharpen their pencils and i do hope none of them get paid bonus's if they don't deliver 66% returns, very average returns of under 20% shouldn't attract bonus's imo, they should be merit based.
