Warren Buffett, widely regarded as one of the greatest investors of all time, has led Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.B) for nearly 60 years. Since taking the reins in 1965, he’s delivered a compounded annual return of almost 20%, vastly outperforming the broader market.
Even as the U.S. market sinks under the weight of recession fears and global trade tensions, Berkshire has once again proven resilient. The stock is up nearly 12% year-to-date and is just 6% off its 52-week high. Compare that to the S&P 500, which is down 12% on the year and sits 16% below its high, and it’s clear why Buffett’s strategy still resonates with investors.
