Top SchoolSimon Symhoven is a junior fixed income portfolio manager and quantitative analyst with nine years of combined experience in software development, fintech entrepreneurship, and asset management. Holding an M.Sc. in Stochastic Engineering in Business and Finance and a B.Sc. in Information Technology, he blends rigorous quantitative training with practical Python-driven tooling for simulations, statistical analysis, and portfolio infrastructure.
