Once again, George Weiss is making money on the monies he 'sets aside'

Let's say the average amount of money invested between 7/1/2014 to 6/30/2015
was $35 million.
$13,395,590 / $35,000,000 = is about a 38% return for the year.
8.231% of $35 million is about $2,880,850,
if the money was invested in the S&P 500.
Say Yes to Education wants the IRS and the public to believe
that his investments outperformed the stock market by about 4.75 times
between 7/1/2014 and 6/30/2015,
even though his publicly available performance doesn't show it.

Being extremely generous,
let's say the average amount of money invested between 7/1/2013 to 6/30/2014
was $30 million.
$16,657,004 / $30,000,000 = is about a 55% return for the year

.
The total return for the S&P 500 for the same time frame was 20.588%;
20.588% of $30 million is about $7,764,000,
if the money was invested in the S&P 500.
Say Yes to Education wants the IRS and the public to believe
that his investments outperformed the stock market by about twice as much
between 7/1/2013 and 6/30/2014,
and then knocking the trading gains out of the ball park the next year.
Meanwhile, most of the money is still located outside of the United States;
