The 24th Annual Baron Investment Conference drew over 5,000 Baron Funds' shareholders today at the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center in New York City.

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, made a surprise appearance and put three Tesla cars on display outside the Metropolitan Opera House for Baron Funds' shareholders to view.

Shareholders of Baron's 13 funds were invited to the all-day conference, which included presentations from four CEOs of businesses in which the funds have invested (see below). Those presentations were followed by remarks from Baron Capital Group President Linda Martinson, and then a panel of Baron fund managers who were questioned by Christopher V. Dodds, who moderated the open session. The presentations were concluded with remarks from Ron Baron, Baron Capital Group Chairman and CEO.

There was also entertainment provided by Alicia Keys, Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga, Steve Martin and Martin Short, and Michael Bublé.

"Baron Funds' shareholders spent another wonderful day learning from our portfolio managers as well as some of the CEOs of our highest conviction holdings, including Elon Musk," said Mr. Baron. "One of the highlights of my year is interacting with our shareholders at the conference, and today was no different. We look forward to seeing our shareholders back next year for the 25th anniversary."
