A bit of validation
David Granik, one of the Spring 2014 Benjamin Graham Fellows, was one of the semi-finalists in this year’s Sohn Investment Idea Contest. Simeon McMillan, one of last year’s Fellows, was also among the semi-finalists; you may recall that Simeon was informed that he had won the Sohn Contest last year while at the Las Vegas VIC as one of our Fellows.
David, Simeon, and Michael Guichon (this year’s winner) were the only students to make it to the semifinals. Good to know that our screening system works on par with a panel of judges consisting of Michael Price, Bill Ackman, David Einhorn, Joel Greenblatt, and Seth Klarman.
