< Student Analysts Win Big on Oil and Gas Plays Long AlphaLan Nguyen of Loyola University Chicago finishes in ninth place overall but is No. 1 in terms of long alpha, beating the Russell 3000 by 97 basis points. That’s more than double the outperformance of the student who claims second place on this roster, Ayushia Ansari of Stetson University.
