I think you forgot about DECA and FBLA, mandatory high school ECs to qualify for IB

 

Congrats on going to UChicago after Exeter and landing in TBC Consumer

 

UK clubs underrepresented here - Oxford Alpha Fund is not the only good club in the UK. CapitOx, CAMSIF are also huge names, look at committee placements for proof of this

 

Half of these publish investment memos online and would be laughed out of the room at serious funds, so I'm assuming this is purely off of placements. For who truly teaches you investing, take a look at the clubs who win the big pitch competitions judged by real experts, not a bunch of college kids circle-jerking each other's DCF that's 90% terminal value and hard-coded WACC.

A piece of advice, if your fund is mostly mega-caps, you're a shitty fund.

 

Nice tier list — really helps to see how different investment clubs stack globally. I’ve noticed that tracking engagement and performance in clubs with tools similar to Phonexa can really give members an edge, especially for networking and spotting opportunities early.
