The Benjamin Graham Value Investing Program
It is always a pleasure when I can highlight the significant achievements of our Simon Quick team members. Partner Emeritus, William E. Simon Jr. co-founded UCLA’s Value Investing Program with Professor Andrew Atkeson in 2018. Because UCLA does not offer an undergraduate major or minor in this particular field of study, the Value Investing Program is an attractive opportunity for hundreds of UCLA undergraduates who are interested in investing careers.
Now in its second year the Economics Department is delighted to announce the renaming of its undergraduate Value Investing Program after the field’s pre-eminent pioneer, Benjamin Graham. With the concurrence and encouragement of Mr. Graham’s son, Dr. Benjamin Graham, Jr., the program is now known as the Benjamin Graham Value Investing Program.
In announcing the name change Mr. Simon shared that “Shortly after the naming, I received an encouraging letter from Mr. Graham’s star pupil, Warren Buffett, who wrote: ‘Ben was the best teacher I ever had. He made things come alive in the classroom in many ingenious ways.’” Aligning the program name with the ‘father of value investing,’ speaks to the program’s mission at the core of value investing – a commitment to objectivity and rationality.
