"The Perils of Forecasting"

FEATURED SPEAKER
Craig Bodenstab
Orbis Investment Management Ltd.  

Event Description:

The Perils of Forecasting

Forecasting is inherently difficult and often fundamentally flawed – yet, as an industry, we spend an immense amount of time and effort attempting to predict the future. To illustrate this point, Craig will look at some commonly accepted investment beliefs and will consider whether [or not] they are indeed supported by facts. He will also examine whether one actually needs to predict the future in order to deliver respectable risk adjusted returns over the long term.
