An interesting write up from the WSJ blog on colleges which produce the best investors.
UVA came out as No. 1 based on the average annualized returns of its grads’ stock picks on the site. Using annualized data, a pick that produced a 10% profit over six months and one that gained 20% over one year and another with a 40% gain over two years would be counted about the same. The average annualized figure for UVA grads: 53.8%.
As start up companies and young entrepreneurship has taken an international turn in the past 10 years, this is something definitely to keep in mind as the need for backers and partners is at an all time high.
