It also includes cases, books and readings, a library with videos of Value Investor lectures and practitioner visits and a number of databases ranging from Canadian Value Investing funds to bond and equity screeners and company financials and financial market statistics.2-Development of intellectual capital. This includes academic and practitioner research papers both published and at the working paper stage, as well as a list of all those carrying out research in the field. It will also eventually grow to include a PhD program & PhD students.3-Spreading the word about Value Investing to the broader community. This includes seminars, conferences, symposiums and competitions. The Centre also supports a student driven Value Fund run with real money which was raised via donations. When it is completed, the Centre will also support a discussion board system where one can ask questions and discuss issues or help others solve Value Investing problems.The Centre is known as the repository of information on Value Investing through our virtual library, thanks to the support of Burgundy Asset Management.
