Wharton Investment Management Conference

The Wharton Investment Management Conference (WIMC) strives to bring together investors in all stages of their journeys to exchange ideas and share experiences. The Conference invites MBAs from programs across the country, investment management professionals, and the academic community. We aim to create a platform for investors to share their views of the market and investment philosophies.

 

Keynote Speaker: Will Danoff

Will Danoff joined Fidelity Investments in 1986 and has been managing the Fidelity Contrafund since 1990. Along with managing Contra, Will also manages several other Fidelity funds totaling assets of more than $190 billion. In 2007, Morningstar named Will “Domestic Stock Manager of the Year". Will is dedicated to the long-term benefits of active management. During his 32-year manager tenure, the Fidelity Contrafund (FCNTX) has averaged an incredible 12.56% annualized average return, more than 2% greater than the annual returns from the benchmark S&P 500 Index.
