Speaking at
In this keynote, Candi shares how 25 years of value investing shaped his investment philosophy. Drawing connections between managing companies and evaluating them as investments, he discusses the importance of discipline, patience, and staying within one’s circle of competence. The session also delves into the behavioural side of investing — from common biases to the psychological pitfalls that often stand between investors and consistent results — and reflects on why the human factor still matters in an age of big data and algorithms. Concluding with a personal perspective on AI’s growing role in finance, Candi examines how technology can amplify insight without replacing human judgment.
