Forbes – 22-year-old Alex Bosset is not your typical college student. A finance major at the University of Minnesota, he was recently ranked among the top 14 buyside analysts in a list compiled by SumZero, a social network for professional investors (co-founded by Divya Narendra and funded by the Winklevoss twins).
The basis of the ranking consisted of SumZero members submitting investment ideas, which were then evaluated according to average return and peer evaluation over an 18-month period. In order to make the top 14, an analyst would need to have a portfolio of ideas with a high rate of return, while simultaneously earning a respectable average peer rating.
