Great investors are not defined by their forecasts—but by their ability to stay patient, rational, and let compounding work across decades.

Chris Davis, Chairman of Davis Advisors, represents three generations of investors dedicated to that discipline. Today he oversees more than $20 billion and continues a tradition rooted in stewardship, clarity, and the enduring power of long-term compounding. Shaped by market cycles and lessons drawn from the public teachings of Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, Chris offers a rare perspective on how enduring principles—not predictions—create wealth that survives volatility and disruption. In addition to his role as an investor, Chris will also share his learnings and perspective from his service on the board of Directors of three iconic American companies: The Washington Post, The Coca-Cola Company and Berkshire Hathaway.

This session is not a market outlook. It is a dialogue on how discipline, patience, and compounding transform time into the ultimate ally for investors and family enterprises alike.

What You’ll Learn

1. The Compounding Advantage

Why the most powerful force in investing is not a trade, but the discipline to let value accumulate over years and decades.

3. Lessons from the Greats

Principles distilled from Buffett and Munger’s public wisdom and Chris’s own decades of practice: patience, clarity, and rational capital allocation.

4. Enduring Value in a Disrupted World

How a value framework withstands shifts in rates, technology, and geopolitics—while keeping compounding intact.

5. Multi-Generational Stewardship

How three generations of the Davis family have built and preserved wealth by never interrupting the compounding process.
