This program will cover about twelve business case studies, of which many have been developed by the instructor based on his experience as a practicing value investor over the last twenty seven years. The cases have been carefully chosen to teach participants key fundamental concepts in business and investment analysis from a value investor’s standpoint. The objective of the program is to help participants relate the various tools used by business and investment analysts to the powerful ideas on analysis of business quality as taught by Philip Fisher and equally powerful ideas on valuation taught by Benjamin Graham.

Those who are open to learning, even if they have been investing in listed securities for many years, as well as those who are new to public market investing, should consider applying for this program.

This program is for curious, open-minded participants who have a deep interest in value investing. This interest will be evaluated in the application materials submitted by the participants. The program is not suitable for traders or for people looking for stock tips.

No stock tips will be given. The course is about developing the right thinking style to become more rational. While this has many useful applications and investing wisely is one of them, if you are contemplating attending this program to find ways to get rich quickly, then please do not apply as you will be disappointed.
