His passion for teaching and his ability to make complex concepts clear gave me the tools and confidence to think independently and invest with discipline. The principles I learned in his class continue to guide my work in wealth management, helping me better serve my clients and build thoughtful, long-term strategies for their financial futures. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Athanassakos for the lasting impact he has had on both my professional approach and personal investment philosophy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #b3a84f;\">-Guido Camaiani<br \/>\nPortfolio Manager, Skyview Private Wealth<br \/>\nBurlington, ON, Canada<br \/>\n<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe Value Investing Seminar was an incredibly insightful experience. It was a privilege to learn value investing directly from Dr. Athanassakos himself. George\u2019s passion for teaching shines through, not only did he explain the concepts thoroughly, but also reinforced them through repetition, ensuring we left with clarity and confidence. Moreover, the way he has structured his book \u201cValue Investing: From Theory to Practice\u201d, which I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone interested in learning about Value Investing, makes complex valuation topics easy to follow and apply in real-world scenarios.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #b3a84f;\">-Jaslin Kaur Dang<br \/>\nIndividual Investor<br \/>\nVancouver, BC, Canada<br \/>\n<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Professor Athanassakos provides a complete framework of value investing that is grounded both in theory and practice. It focuses both on Ben Graham\u2019s and Buffett\u2019s styles of value investing. Despite having practiced value investing myself for the last five years, I have benefited immensely from an in-depth understanding of the theories and framework behind value investing, as well as the various rigorous valuation models that the seminar offers. The seminar has enabled me to reflect on and further improve my investing approach.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #b3a84f;\">-Chi Ho (Jason) Fu<\/span><span style=\"color: #b3a84f;\">,<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"color: #b3a84f;\">Individual Investor &amp; Legal Practitioner in Distressed Debt<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"color: #b3a84f;\">Hong Kong, HK<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAs a DIY investor without a formal background in finance, I found the course to be incredibly valuable.

This seminar was truly a game changer for me and my financial journey. I now feel confident in my ability to deeply understand the companies I invest in, and I\u2019ve gained tools and frameworks that I\u2019ll continue to use for years to come.\u00a0 Thanks again for organizing such a great learning experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #b3a84f;\">-Steve Kendall<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"color: #b3a84f;\">Individual Investor<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"color: #b3a84f;\">Welland, ON, Canada<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]\u201cThe CAVIE Value Investing Course is of great value!\u00a0 You can\u2019t afford not to take it.\u00a0 The methodology is logical and robust.\u00a0 The case studies really helped translate knowledge into skill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #b3a84f;\">-Mike Lawton<\/span><span style=\"color: #b3a84f;\"><br \/>\nIndividual Investor<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #b3a84f;\">Quispamsis, NB, Canada<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]&#8221;The Center for the Advancement of Value Investing Education Value Investing Seminar is an executive-level, rigorous, and practical seminar that teaches the Ben Graham and Warren Buffet approaches to value investing.
