About this Event
Join CFA Society Rochester for an upcoming luncheon featuring David Thomas, author of and former editor of the Financial Post and The Globe and Mail’s Report on Business.
Presentation: Why Are Fairfax and Prem Watsa Not Better Known? Find Out What’s Behind the Company’s Big Turnaround.
Nearly 40 years after Fairfax Financial Holdings was founded, David Thomas became the first author granted inside access to tell the company’s story. He’ll explore its rise, stall, and resurgence, its tradition of value investing and nearly 20% long-term compounding, and CEO Prem Watsa’s investment philosophy. Discover why Fairfax is often compared with Berkshire Hathaway, what investors may misunderstand about the company, and what its recent moves could mean for its intrinsic value.
