ABOUT THE LONDON VALUE INVESTOR CONFERENCE
Value Investing was developed in the early Twentieth Century by Benjamin Graham and has been popularised in recent decades by the success of many investors who follow the approach, most notably Warren Buffett. Numerous academic studies have shown that a disciplined value-based approach to investing in securities outperforms the market over the long term. It is under-pinned by research into behavioural investing which demonstrates both why it is so psychologically difficult to do (because it involves taking positions that are contrary to the received wisdom of the crowd) and why it is so financially rewarding when done well.
The first London Value Investor Conference, held in April 2012, brought together well known US investors such as Will Browne of Tweedy Browne, with European counterparts running both large and small funds. “The LVIC” has now grown to become the largest gathering of Value Investors in Europe and has brought together well known investors including Michael Price, Howard Marks, Jean-Marie Eveillard, Anthony Bolton, Nick Train, David Harding, Jonathan Ruffer and many others.
