32nd Annual Baron Investment Conference
Thank you to all our shareholders, clients, and guests who joined us for the 32nd Annual Baron Investment Conference. Recordings of the sessions will be available on this page in the coming weeks.
CHANGING LIVES
At Baron Capital, our goal has always been simple: to change lives by creating wealth for our clients, for our employees, and for their families. Wealth is not just numbers on a page. It is freedom. It is security. It is opportunity for children and grandchildren to pursue education, careers, and dreams. It is the ability to plan for generations, to give back to communities and to live with confidence in the future.
About the Conference
Investment Discussion and Market Outlook
Baron Capital's team of portfolio managers, analysts, and special guests will share unique insights into the current market environment, their investment thinking, and where they see long-term growth investment opportunities.
