ValueWalk.com was started in January 2010, with a focus on value investing and value investors. As the site has grown, the scope has expanded. ValueWalk is now a news site with a team of global reporters covering all breaking financial news with an emphasis on value investing, hedge funds, large asset managers, Tech news, Business news. The site contains archives of famous investors, and many investor resource pages.
The site is famous among the value investing community as one of the best sites for evergreen and new content. ValueWalk has gained popularity among all circles for its breaking stories on hedge funds, and investigative reports on investments by major funds.
You can also check out ValueWalk Premium, where we analyze liquid stocks, which have little to no analyst coverage.
ValueWalk regularly breaks stories regarding performance, personnel changes, and any significant events for large/famous hedge funds. The site has also broken major economic news. Some examples include, Jacob Lew would be the next treasury secretary (September 2012), Marie Schapiro would resign as SEC chairwoman (October 2012), DISH Network was actively looking for a large acquisition (July 2012).
The site has been and is regularly sourced by both the blog sections and news sections of major publications, which include, NY Times, The Guardian, BusinessWeek, Fortune, Wall Street Journal, Factiva, CNBC, The LA Times, NY Mag, The Observer, and Reuters.
Stocks/markets move based on our coverage.
ValueWalk has been included in Bloomberg’s Terminal VIP Twitter list which NYMag states ‘Being on Bloomberg’s VIP list isn’t just a meaningless status symbol. (Although it is that, too.) It’s tantamount to being able to broadcast your thoughts into every firm on Wall Street, and each person on the list gets more than 300,000 silent followers, who may or may not be trading millions of dollars based on their 140-character musings.’

Vitaly Katsenelson CFA
I am Chief Investment Officer at Investment Management Associates, Inc (IMA), a value investment firm based in Denver, Colorado. After I received my graduate and undergraduate degrees in finance (cum laude) from the University of Colorado at Denver, and finished my CFA designation (three years of my life that are a vague recollection at this point), I wanted to keep learning. I figured the best way to learn is to teach. At first I taught an undergraduate class at the University of Colorado at Denver and later a graduate investment class at the same university that I designed based on my day job. Currently I am on sabbatical from teaching for a while.
I’ve written articles for the Financial Times, Barron’s, BusinessWeek, Christian Science Monitor, New York Post, Institutional Investor … and the list goes on.
I was profiled in Barron’s, and have been interviewed by Value Investor Insight, Welling@Weeden, BusinessWeek, BNN, CNBC, and countless radio shows.
I’ve authored the Little Book of Sideways Markets (Wiley, 2010) and Active Value Investing (Wiley, 2007).

Brendan Byrne:
While studying economics, Brendan found himself comfortably falling down the rabbit hole of restaurant work, ultimately opening a consulting business and working as a private wine buyer. On a whim, he moved to China, and in his first week following a triumphant pub quiz victory, he found himself bleeding on the floor based on his arrogance. The same man who put him there offered him a job lecturing for the University of Wales in various sister universities throughout the Middle Kingdom. While primarily lecturing in descriptive and comparative statistics, Brendan simultaneously earned an Msc in Banking and International Finance from the University of Wales-Bangor. He’s presently doing something he hates, respecting French people. Well, two, his wife and her mother in the lovely town of Antigua, Guatemala.
