Becoming a member is rather difficult (know some smart investors who needed 5-8 times) though VIC is very useful for 1) sourcing if you need to pitch weekly, like at many HFs and 2) did not backtest anything though from experience/anecdotally know several theses from VIC that exactly played out as described and were 2-3x in year after posting. PS next to MOI believe these are among higher quality networks. Incomparable to sumzero, seeking alpha and other retail blogs
There was a paper that said VIC ideas on average beat the index (something in that line). That's done in ~2008. I can try looking for it if someone is interested.
Getting in is hard. I use my report to land many job interviews but couldn't get into VIC.
Lol gory damn there's a deadass paper (proper academic paper I presume?) on VIC? Yes, if you could look for it, would be greatly appreciated
Wow
I believe the paper he's referring to is called "Do Fund Managers Identify and Share Profitable Ideas" (SSRN 1499341). I'm not a full member (yet) but it's my impression from other comments that the website's quality has slightly diminished since the period studied in the paper. Not sure how true that is, but I definitely have seen ideas that weren't crafted with great effort. Hope the guy who pitched Silvergate a few months ago still has a job.
I'm worried less about the guy who made the SI pitch and moreso the guy in the comments who banged the table on it the whole way down
