An esteemed Columbia Business School graduate and a distinguished international value investor, Mr. Samra is committed to mentoring the next generation of value investing talent. He explained, ‘‘It’s a pleasure to sponsor this event each year. It’s always a great opportunity for me to network with other well-respected value investors as well as up-and-coming value investing talent, all while staying connected to my alma mater.”
