Professor Athanassakos illuminated this new perspective with the use of excellent cases and thereby showed during the seminar how value investing can be put in practice.\u00a0 The seminar was an invaluable experience and I highly recommend it.\u201d

The course provides you with a framework to think through business valuations.\u00a0 \u00a0The professor is quite engaging as he traverses from Ben Graham’s Net Net’s to modern-day Buffet’s Growth\/Franchisee investing schools of thought. These are exemplified with some real-life case studies and examples that cement one’s understanding of the concepts.\u00a0\u00a0The guest\u00a0lecturer session was insightful in understanding the mindset of some of the best global investors out there.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0I thoroughly enjoyed the course and would highly recommend it to those who are contemplating it.”

I had studied value investing on my own for years and had dabbled here there to some success but always felt I was lacking a true rigorous model to follow.\u00a0 Many books would give pieces of the puzzle here and there but I never found anything comprehensive.\u00a0 Then I came across Dr. Athanassakos’ course and thought this could be just what I was looking for. Prior to the seminar, I was really nervous about my lack of finance\/accounting background, but I knew that\u2019s exactly what I needed to dive into.\u00a0 While the course is heavy on that material, it is presented in a knowable manner and all within a framework and philosophy that is easy to understand.\u00a0 This course has something to offer to the seasoned vet and the novice alike.\u00a0\u00a0The class atmosphere created by George, his team, and the students were phenomenal!”

I have always wanted to learn Value Investing for professional and personal well-being. However, I did not have a framework and network to fall back. This class certainly offered both. Prof. Athanassakos content, based on his academic research and industry knowledge, spoke to this need. His affable teaching style made the course further engaging. To me, he and my classmates have given me a model, framework, and education for life. Could not have been happier in choosing this program!!!”

Not only did we receive a “guided tour” of the value investing frameworks, but also the opportunity to apply it in practice through the case studies – and that combination helped me to move beyond knowing to intuitively understanding – which I think is crucial in a field like investing where situations may not repeat but do rhyme. After the intensive coaching under Professor Athanassakos, I feel more confident of my ability to analyze companies using the value investing frameworks. Beyond just the usual frameworks there was time spent on understanding the important fundamental drivers of value, inflation and such were also very valuable tools taught in this excellent course.\u00a0 Thank you Professor Athanassakos for your commitment and efforts in sharing this knowledge with us your student.\u00a0 With the warmest regards and sincere gratitude.”
