The next London Value Investor Conference will take place on 14th May 2019 and tickets are now on sale. This year there will also be a networking reception after the conference finishes with drinks and canapés.
Since the inaugural event in 2012 our conferences have brought together well-known investors including Michael Price, Howard Marks, Neil Woodford CBE, Jean-Marie Eveillard, Anthony Bolton, Don Yacktman, Will Browne, David Harding and Jonathan Ruffer, as well as other investors running both large and small funds.
Since 2016 the London Value Investor Conference audience has also made nominations for a set of awards for Lifetime Achievement for Fund Managers, as well as awards for public company CEOs for capital allocation discipline. At the conference in May 2018, a prior winner of an award, Tim Martin of JD Wetherspoon joined the fund managers and others in the audience for a special session with William N. Thorndike titled The Outsiders – Unconventional CEOs, Capital Allocation Discipline and Shareholder Returns. An overview video of the event and photos from the 2018 conference are below.

VALUE INVESTING
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. It is now a well respected investment style in the US but is still a nascent sector of the investment universe elsewhere.
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.
