Select undergraduate and graduate students participate in a year-long seminar series with Gary Mishuris, CFA, Managing Partner and CIO of Silver Ring Value Partners. Throughout the seminar, readings such as Benjamin Graham's Security Analysis and Warren Buffett’s partnership letters, are used to discuss the investing philosophies and processes of successful value investors. Students are able to use the insights from the readings to build their own value-investing framework that is internally consistent and suited to their strengths.
