The art of value: Investing, philosophy, and living with intention – Q&A session with Vitaliy Katsenelson, CFA

Thursday 02 October 2025 | 13:00 - 14:00 | Evening Event

Join us for a rare opportunity to engage directly with one of the most original voices in modern value investing — Vitaliy Katsenelson, CFA, CEO of Investment Management Associates (IMA). This is not a presentation. There are no slides, just pure, dynamic Q&A — modelled on Vitaliy’s acclaimed side session at the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting. Whether you're curious about his investment philosophy, views on market cycles, or how Stoic principles shape his decision-making, this is your opportunity to ask directly. 

Dubbed “the new Benjamin Graham” by Forbes, Vitaliy brings over two decades of investment experience, a deep grounding in classical value principles, and a refreshingly contrarian perspective on markets. His thought leadership has shaped the thinking of investors worldwide through his bestselling books, Active Value Investing and The Little Book of Sideways Markets. 

Vitaliy’s insights have been featured in Barron’s, Financial Times, Forbes, The Globe & Mail, CNBC, and MarketWatch, and he’s a regular guest on CNBC, Fox Business, and BNN. He also taught graduate-level investing at the University of Colorado and served on the board of the CFA Society of Colorado. 

This event will be of interest to those in the value investment and wider community.
