"Value Investing Makes Sense and Works "

    Discussed by:

    Jean-Marie Eveillard
    Senior Adviser, First Eagle Investment Management

Jean-Marie Eveillard will cover the reasons why value investing makes sense, specifically exploring how the approaches of Benjamin Graham and Warren Buffett have worked over time. Eveillard will examine the writings of Buffett and Louis Lowenstein supporting this position. He will provide a deeper look into what the bottom-up investing approach is and how it worked so well up until 2008. He will explain what happened that year and his view on the current environment and what it means for the value investor going forward.

Attend This Meeting and Learn...
How value investing has worked over time
What happened to value investors in 2008 and the lessons to be mastered
Whether value investing will work in the current volatile market and in a possibly slower-growth future market
