I don't see any immediate reason not too.   Brandes is very wealthy - I like that.

Jim,
Thanks for the message below. I will be attending the Mauldin/Altegris conference in the San Diego area from May 2nd-4th. Tomorrow (Wednesday May 2nd) would work best. I am available between 2:30pm-5pm. Unfortunately, I won’t have a car, so you would need to meet me at the hotel. I am staying at the Park Hyatt Aviara. Cliff, we could meet in the lobby and go for a cup of coffee if that fits your schedule. My mobile is; 312-498-9595.
 
Let me know if you can make it so I block out the time. Looking forward to meeting you…
 
Best,
Arlene

Dear Arlene:
 
I lead the business development team for Brandes Investment Partners and was fortunate enough to have David in my office in Geneva two weeks ago. He mentioned your name in regard to institutional consulting firms.
 
It would be a pleasure to have the opportunity to meet you and learn about your business. While I would love to get out to DC to do just that, I now understand that you will be in the San Diego area this week. Would you perhaps have some time to meet with one of my colleagues, either at your conference or our offices near Del Mar? We would of course accommodate your schedule.
 
I have copied Cliff Schireson, who leads our consultant relations team. He is a senior manager at the firm and would be happy take you through our firm and investment process. I have also attached an institutional overview of Brandes Investment Partners.
 
I hope we have the chance to meet you, either in California or back east in the near future.
 
All the best,
 
Jim
