An overview of the content

Allan Gray Live – Fund updates and an interview with Orora

Please join us for our Allan Gray Live webinar at 12pm on Wednesday 23 July. We'll be speaking to a special guest from Orora Limited, a leading producer of beverage packaging for household-name brands. Recently in the spotlight for its controversial $2.2 billion acquisition of French glass bottle manufacturer Saverglass, the Orora share price has since come under pressure with demand softening for Saverglass products. This is a unique opportunity to hear how Orora is navigating this rough patch and the rationale for our Funds' investment.

After the interview we will explore all of our Funds’ recent performance and answer your questions. Make sure you don’t miss this opportunity and submit your questions when you register for the webinar.

 

Unable to attend the session live? 

No problem. Please still register and we’ll send you the recording of the session to watch at your convenience.

As always, CPD points will be available.
