ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
ABOUT OUR PARTNERS
The Excellence in Investing conference brings together some of the
world’s top investors and other prominent thinkers from Wall Street,
Silicon Valley and everywhere in between. The speakers have generously
agreed to share their time and ideas to benefit the Excellence in Investing
for Children’s Causes Foundation. The conference allows portfolio
managers, asset allocators and private investors an opportunity to
learn from the insights and specific investment ideas of these highly
successful speakers.
Excellence in Investing was inspired
by and is patterned after the Ira Sohn
Investment Research Conference.
A portion of the proceeds goes to
The Ira Sohn Research Conference
Foundation to benefit pediatric

The Guardsmen is an all-volunteer
group of Bay Area men mobilizing
their resources to improve the lives
of at-risk youth. A portion of the
proceeds goes to The Guardsmen
Scholarship Program.
The conference benefits education

One of the primary beneficiaries is Leadership Public Schools (LPS).
LPS aims to provide students from low-income, urban neighborhoods
