I am a college student and former entrepreneur and I manage investments for friends and family. I've been managing other people's investments for 5 and a half years and during that time I've attained an annualized return of 54% (as of 04/16/2008). My current area of focus includes technology platform companies that are dominant in a growing field. I am also heavily tilted towards continued growth in emerging markets. From 2003 to mid-2005 my portfolio was weighted largely in gold mining investments. I then switched into Chinese equities. Both of these macro strategies payed off and have contributed to the bulk of my returns. I am not tied to any investment thesis and am ready to switch if the climate changes.
