Webinar – The Illusion of Smart Money

Add to my calendar – Wednesday 24 June 2020 – 06:00 p.m. (EEST) – 11:00 a.m. (EDT) – 08:00 a.m. (PDT)


According to Damodaran, people often assume that there are smart people with access to better tools and more data who get into and out of markets at the right time, pick the right stocks, and walk away with huge profits. Another general assumption also seems to be that hedge fund managers, private equity businesses, and elite mutual funds are on the side of smart money and that retail investors are not. During the webinar, Damodaran will explain the problems of these two assumptions and give some advice on what are the characteristics of a good investor.

His keynote will be followed by a Q&A session.
