Inaugurated in 1991, the Graham & Dodd Event exemplifies more than eight decades of Graham and Dodd tradition at Columbia Business School. Held in New York City every fall, the gathering brings together alumni, students, scholars, and practitioners for a forum on current insights and approaches to investing. This highly successful and invigorating event attracts some of the most prominent figures in the investing community.
The Columbia Business School gratefully acknowledges Barbara Dodd Anderson, Charles Royce ’63, and Robert Bruce ’70, whose support initiated and established this prestigious and venerable series.
Transcripts from the 36th Annual Graham & Dodd Luncheon featuring Li Lu '96 (’96 CC,’96 LAW), Founder and Chairman of Himalaya Capital can be read in English and in Mandarin.
