<p>Lorenzo Weber and Alexander Francis from the <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/uwf/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">University of West Florida</a> placed 1st in the 2025 Southeastern Hedge Fund Competition organized by Georgia State University J. Mack Robinson College of Business in partnership with <a href="https://theseafa.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Southeastern Hedge Fund Association</a> (www.theseafa.com). Lorenzo and Alexander competed against 44 other teams from over 30 different universities. Lorenzo and Alexander developed the Central Supply Chain Momentum Strategy, a long-short equity strategy that ranked firms based on their importance in supply chains. By going long on the top 10% and shorting the bottom 10%, their strategy achieved an average 29% annual return with low risk and 14 consecutive years of positive back-tested performance. The competition is a yearly event open to students globally at the undergraduate, master's, and PhD levels and tests everything from strategy development to presentation skills. Lorenzo and Alexander are grateful to Dr. K.C. Ma, their faculty advisor/sponsor, for his guidance and are proud to represent UWF’s College of Business on a global stage.</p><br><p><a href="https://robinson.gsu.edu/academic-departments/finance/southeastern-hedge-fund-competition/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Georgia State University Hedge Fund Competition Website</a></p><br><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/southeastern-hedge-fund-competition-862a2318a/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Follow the Southeastern Hedge Fund Competition on LinkedIn </a></p><br><p>Guests:</p><br><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lorenzo-weber-103302119/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lorenzo Weber</a></p><br><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexander-francis-367739350/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Alexander Francis</a></p><br><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-murray-2a08b0a1/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Scott Murray</a></p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
