Multibagger Investor Chuck Akre’s Top 10 Stock Holdings
Akre Capital Management’s investment approach to choosing the potential pick is based on a “three-legged stool”:
1. Strong business with a sustainable competitive advantage;
2. Exceptional management team;
3. Pattern of disciplined reinvestment.
These three factors qualify companies to be among Akre’s investment opportunities, and he refers to those companies as “compounding machines”. Chuck differs from other asset managers in at least two important ways:
First, when he buys a security, he does not look on the exit point; He looks to compound the capital invested over a long term horizon.
Second, Chuck benefits from the opportunity created in Wall Street through what he calls: “beat by a penny, miss by a penny” syndrome. With a time frame ranged between five to ten years, he grab the opportunities created through quarterly “misses”.
