Value Investing SIG speaker event: Value as a broad church

Monday 24 February 2025 | 18:30 - 20:30 | Evening Event, Special Interest Group Led

This event has been organised by the CFA UK’s Value Investing Special Interest Group

Join CFA UK's Value Investing Special Interest Group (VISIG) for an insightful evening with Robert Macrae, CFA, Research Associate, LSE Systemic Risk Centre. 

Robert will delve into the fundamentals of what constitutes value, examining the core principles that separate value-driven methods from those that are not. This exploration is crucial because the concept of value is diverse and multifaceted, with no single "correct" approach, yet it does have its boundaries. Understanding these distinctions helps identify when someone is merely paying lip service to the idea of value without truly embodying it.

The session will be both informative and interactive, therefore please bring along illustrations and questions to contribute to the discussion. 

We will be meeting at the Argyle pub from 18:30 on Monday 24 February, with the talk starting at 19:00 with an opportunity for networking afterwards.

Members and non-members are welcome, but we ask that you pre-register.

Please note that drinks are at the attendees’ own cost.
