Seth Klarman and Charlie Rose

Interviews with Seth Klarman are relatively rare (though, see one from my alma mater here), and so it was with great excitement that I came across an interview I had missed last month with Charlie Rose and Seth Klarman at a Facing History and Ourselves event (Klarman is chairman of this charity which uses education of historical examples of genocide and mass violence to combat bigotry and prejudice – learn more about it here). In this interview, Klarman spends the first ~1/3 discussing his work with the charity and his other philanthropic activities through his family foundation. The remainder is devoted to investment philosophy, discussing value investing and what it means to him. He even hints at republishing his exceedingly rare book Margin of Safety to raise money for charity.

I have embedded the full video below (Feed subscribers may need to come to the site to watch it).
