Implementing Benjamin Graham's Special Situations Frameworks in Conventional Investment Strategies

Join Prof. Sanjay Bakshi in this deep dive into the world of Special Situations, a framework originally pioneered by Benjamin Graham in the legendary third edition of Security Analysis. Prof. Bakshi shares his personal evolution as an investor—from navigating the technicalities of risk arbitrage and corporate events like mergers and buybacks to applying these "event-driven" principles to modern, long-term business analysis. In this session, you will explore: The transition from being a market analyst to a business analyst. How to apply probabilistic thinking and stress tests to companies facing temporary distress.
