Students had the opportunity to win a hardcover copy of Richard H. Lawrence's new book, "THE MODEL: 37 Years Investing in Asian Equities", PLUS $200 dollars or free attendance to the Ben Graham Centre’s Value Investing Conference.

Congratulations to Kirtika Chetty!
Kirtika had this to say: “Writing this blog was a rewarding experience that pushed me to connect with core principles of value investing with how they play out in practice. Brian Chingono's session reinforced that real opportunities often lie where expectations are lowest, and that discipline, humility, and a focus on fundamentals matter more than chasing growth. It's a perspective I'm excited to keep building as I continue my journey in investing.”
