In some companies, e.g. quantitative hedge funds, PhDs are a selling point by the company. If you have two equal hedge funds to invest in, you would probably put your money into one with more prestigious university Ph.D. quants.
Edit: Or startup pitching, M&A or even some sales - basically our deck team slide is "X PhDs, Y ex-Googlers".

- nostrademons 8y agoIf I have two equal hedge funds to invest in, I'd ignore both and put it in an index fund. Past performance is no guarantee of future results and all.
