About this event

Our speakers for this year include:

  • Mark Mobius, who is regularly referred to as ‘Mr. Emerging Markets’ and who managed the Templeton Emerging Markets investment trust from 1988 to 2014, the first international equity fund dedicated to investing in the emerging markets. In 2017, Mark founded Mobius Capital Partners.
  • Tom Gayner, Co-CEO and Chief Investment Officer at Markel Corporation, a Virginia, USA-based company, and often referred to as a mini-Berkshire Hathaway given the similarities in the group’s strategy and growth record.
  • Tim Crockford, Senior Fund Manager with the Regnan Impact Fund, a global equity fund focused on investing in companies that have the potential to address the world’s major social and environmental challenges.

The event is open to ticket holders only and tickets cost €30 per person. All ticket proceeds go to the Paris2Nice not-for-profit organisation, which operates the Paris-to-Nice annual cycle, an event that raises significant monies each year for a range of worthy Irish-based charities.

Doors open at 4.30pm and the conference kicks off at 5.30pm sharp with final comments from GillenMarkets founder, Rory Gillen, at around 7.30pm.
