Deloitte and Amwal Advisory Corp. to host conference featuring valuations guru Prof. Aswath Damodaran

6 December 2016 – Deloitte in collaboration with Amwal Advisory Corp. will host a limited seat conference over three days, discussing investment portfolio management and valuations. The conference will be held in Dubai at the DIFC Conference Center on January 15-17 2017. It will feature renowned valuations, corporate finance and investment management expert Professor Aswath Damodaran, who returns to Dubai for the second year in a row, following the success of last year’s conference.

“A certainty in markets is that they are unpredictable. In today’s world, you need to have the courage to make your best judgments in the face of uncertainty and also the humility to revisit them when you are wrong. In this seminar, I hope to take you on my personal journey of discovery and faith in investing and valuation,” said Professor Damodaran.

The mix of valuation techniques and applications provided in this conference will appeal to a widely diverse audience which include CEO’s, CFO’s, research analysts, corporate financial officers and portfolio managers. Day one will focus on investment philosophy and strategy with days two and three dedicated to valuations, including a workshop and a Q&A session with Professor Damodaran.

“When the world thinks Valuations – they think Professor Damodaran. On the back of last year’s successful conference, we are pleased to welcome the Professor back this year,” said Ben Moore, Partner, Valuations and Business Modelling, Deloitte Financial Advisory, Middle East.

Nazem Basha, Chairman & CEO of Amwal Advisory Corp. and co-host of the conference said “Professor Damodaran is recognized worldwide, as an icon in the fields of Investments and Valuations. The success and feedback received on last year’s conference is a testament to that.”
