Through invitation-only events and member publications, MOI Global fosters a community of intelligent investors united by a passion for lifelong learning. The Manual of Ideas started out more than a decade ago focused on content. As we went out to gather and generate uniquely differentiated content for value-oriented investors, we came to appreciate the tight-knit value investing community that had been developing for many years thanks to a strong nucleus formed by the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting. We realized this was not only a community of exceptionally gifted and successful investors, but that the vast majority of them were also willing to share with and learn from their peers. We were humbled to have an opportunity to bring the wisdom of investors like Jean-Marie Eveillard, Charles de Vaulx, Tom Gayner, Howard Marks, James Montier, Tom Russo, Mohnish Pabrai, Guy Spier, Murray Stahl, Will Thorndike, Arnold van den Berg, Ed Wachenheim, and Don Yacktman to others in the community. We also saw an opportunity to leverage the internet to help broaden the appeal of value investing beyond its traditional U.S. base. We call this membership community MOI Global, with The Manual of Ideas constituting one component of the value we bring to members. Other benefits include content shared on this website; curated idea presentations shared via online events such as the Best Ideas conference, Asian Investing Summit, Wide-Moat Investing Summit, European Investing Summit, and Meet-the-Author Summer Forum; as well as offline experiences such as Latticework, Ideaweek, The Zurich Project, The Frankfurt Conversation, Best Ideas Omaha, and member-run local chapter meetings in many cities globally.
