Jim Simons's Gulfstream G800, tail N773MJ, was tracked departing Pisa International Airport and touching down at Teterboro Airport on June 25, a transatlantic flight lasting just over eight hours.
If Jim Simons were aboard, he would arrive in the New York area the same week Fortune reported that billionaires like Bill Ackman and David Tepper are quietly piling into Amazon stock [fortune.com], and as JPMorgan reshuffled its executive ranks — narrowing the race to succeed Jamie Dimon, per Reuters [srnnews.com]. The hedge fund world is closely watching these developments, and Renaissance Technologies, the quantitative powerhouse Simons founded, may be evaluating similar moves.
Simons's estate has maintained a low profile since his passing, but Renaissance remains a major force in quantitative investing. The flight from Italy — where the family has ties — to Teterboro, a hub for private aviation into Manhattan, could signal either a return from a summer retreat or a discreet business meeting. As always, we track the aircraft, not the person.
