Benjamin Graham

1894 – 1976

Benjamin Graham (1894–1976) was an American investor and finance professor, often called the “father of value investing.” He studied at Columbia University and built a career analyzing securities, later teaching at Columbia Business School. He is credible on long-term investing because his disciplined, research-based approach helped guide investment decisions and he wrote extensively on margin of safety and defensive versus enterprising strategies. Other notable works include Security Analysis (with David Dodd) and The Interpretation of Financial Statements.
