“Value Investing” is the underlying theme of this pioneering international investment research competition. Value investing is a well-known, time-proven investment strategy that is used globally to identify undervalued securities, both listed and unlisted. Some of the most successful investors are value investors and these include one of the world’s richest men, Warren Buffett, and investment guru, the late Benjamin Graham.
The 2024 Budding Value Investor Award (“BVIA”) is Asia’s first and only global investment research competition organised by Capital Dynamics to encourage postgraduate, undergraduate and diploma students to acquire knowledge of value investing and the benefits it offers. The competition is sponsored by Capital Dynamics and icapital.biz Berhad, a closed-end fund listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia.
The 2024 Budding Value Investor Award consists of two stages: the Preliminary stage will take the form of an essay and investment research; the Final stage will require the finalists to present their investment research live on 30 November 2024 in Kuala Lumpur. Participants can participate individually or form a group of up to 3 team members and compete to win attractive cash prizes and rewards worth RM25,000.00. Accommodation and flight tickets will be sponsored and arranged by the Organiser for finalists from overseas.
