NEW YORK, Dec. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- On Wednesday, January 7, 2015, the CFA Society Los Angeles will be holding its first event of 2015 with Professor Joel Litman, Chief Investment Strategist at Valens Credit. The program, "Why Bruce Lee Would Have Been Great in Finance", is one of the most popular with CFA Societies around the world. It compares the techniques of the greatest investors through time with the zen-like philosophy of the highest levels of martial arts. The program will be held in downtown Los Angeles at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel.
CFA Societies from New York to Singapore have requested this program. On its popularity, Professor Litman said "When you hear the world's top investors talk about their investing philosophies and successes, their comments sound amazingly like quotes from Bruce Lee, arguably the first and greatest mixed martial artist. There is never one best metric or one greatest technique, and you need to fit the method to the environment."
The program includes a historical look at market cycles of the past 150 years, noting the investing styles that worked best for each economic environment. It also includes a summary of unique indicators such as a quantitative "management confidence aggregate" and credit-for-equity signals that help to identify the specific cycle to put performance and valuation measures into context. As well, it includes an overview of Valens Credit's proprietary macroeconomic indicators.
Ira Keller, Chief Marketing Officer of Valens, said, "Recent CFA programs in Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong, and the U. S. have generated quite a bit of interest for Professor Litman's presentations. I believe this stems from the 'cross-capital' debt-through-equity nature of the market analysis. Investors around the world embrace a growing necessity for examining credit and equity markets together."
Participating CFA Charter Holders are eligible for continuing education credit for their attendance.
