SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 08, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- David Samra, lead portfolio manager of Artisan Partners International Value Team, will be one of several judges helping adjudicate future value investors’ stock picks at Columbia Business School’s CSIMA stock-picking challenge on February 8, 2019. Students participating in the challenge are enrolled in Columbia Business School’s Applied Value Investing program—long considered a leading educator of future value investors in the Graham and Dodd tradition.
The stock-picking challenge offers students several benefits: It teaches them to organize and present well-researched ideas to a group of seasoned investors; it helps them learn to respond to questions regarding the work they have done; and it gives them an opportunity to present their research skills in front of potential employers (including not only the judges, but the audience as well). There is also a cash prize for the winner.
As a proud Columbia Business School graduate, Mr. Samra is pleased to represent Artisan Partners at the event. Mr. Samra noted: “This opportunity directly connects my team to an academic program that arguably has the best value-investing program in the country.”
