8th Value Investing Pioneers Summit | NEW DELHI
By three methods, we may acquire wisdom: first, through reflection, which is the noblest; second, through imitation, which is the easiest; and third, through experience, which is often the bitterest.” – Confucius
In the realm of investing, one fundamental lesson stands out: by focusing on avoiding losses, profits will naturally follow. This principle is equally applicable to the learning process. While practical experience is invaluable, there are lessons that are best learned from the experiences of others. Engaging in certain practices without prior knowledge can lead to costly mistakes.
We invite you to join us at the Value Investing Pioneers Summit, a unique platform designed for learning. Here, you will have the opportunity to reflect on and draw inspiration from the insights shared by our esteemed speakers, who collectively bring decades of experience in value investing. This summit offers a chance to sidestep the harsh lessons of experience by learning from the successes and missteps of industry pioneers, who generously share their insights and lessons learned.
This conference is a gathering of industry veterans, fund managers, academicians, and students, providing a singular opportunity to connect, collaborate, and cultivate relationships within the value investing ecosystem. Don’t miss this chance to deepen your understanding and enhance your investing acumen by learning from the best in the field.
