Value Investing Education in South Africa
I have been planning to spend time creating a Value Investing curriculum and course in order to educate people about Value Investing and how to approach the market as a Value Investor. My aim is firstly to focus on young people who plan to follow a career in finance, investment and entrepreneurship. I would like to share my ideas with them in order to prepare them better for their careers as finance professionals or business people. The principles value investors follow can help any business minded person run a better business. Secondly, I would like to educate finance professionals interested in the science and art of Value Investing.
I have started creating the curriculum material for the following Value Investing courses:
|
- Value Investing Master Class - This is a one day, full-time course, that follows on Value Investing 101 and covers valuation techniques and portfolio management topics. This is for the serious investor keen to understand the detail of investment valuation (Balance Sheet valuations, Income Statement Earning Power, Competitive Advantages, Free Cash Flow, Discounted Cash Flow, Relative Valuation, Portfolio Management, Asset Allocation, Portfolio Performance Measurement, Market Cycles and Technical Analysis, and more...)

What do you consider your most valuable asset, money or time? I believe time is our most valuable asset and it depreciates very quickly! I encourage you to spend some of your most valuable resource in order to ensure that you empower yourself toward being able to properly invest your second most valuable asset, your money, effectively!

Why this is different?
- I help people see behind the curtain to empower themselves. I believe that the vast majority of traditional investment products and services do not work in the interest of investors. Hidden agendas, conflicts of interest and obscured fees run rampant in the financial services industry. I educate investors about the investment process and thus help them empower themselves to take control of their own financial future.
- I eat my own cooking. As a founder member of Richland Investment Holdings I invest all my own savings in the partnerships we manage. The investment process and techniques used in Richland are taught in my courses. I trust the content of the courses because I use it every day to professionally manage investments.
- Simple secrets of the successful. These courses are simple enough for the interested investor to understand. Little math is required to understand the course material, only a passion for investing and wealth creation. Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger keep the process of investing simple and business oriented.
- Being a better investor will make you a better business person. Investors are typically involved in the world of business and thinking like an investor will improve your business skills. Value investors focus on the business 'behind' a share and how to understand it, understand it's competitive advantage, it's management, it's economics, and it's intrinsic value. Being a better business person will in turn make you a better investor.
- Multiple income streams increases your chances of wealth creation. Value investing can be an additional income stream. Creating wealth requires discipline, focus and a certain level of discomfort (e.g. forcing yourself to live within your means). Investing monthly, on an ongoing basis, is considered an additional income stream.
- All the tools you need. I provide tools from accounting to microeconomics, from valuation to psychology. Furthermore, I provide real world case studies featuring actual investments made by value investors so that students can learn, perform research and valuation, and finally implement risk management.
- Continued learning improves a valuable asset. In a fast paced world, you are a very valuable asset. Continued learning increases the value of this asset allowing you to explore new opportunities for yourself. Increase your own value by continuously learning and developing.
