Financials
Banks, insurance, asset managers, exchanges, payment networks. Buffett's largest historical sector — but only the best-managed names. Most banks are commodities; the few wide-moat ones are some of the highest-conviction long-term compounders.
What drives this sector
- Net interest margin + loan losses define banks
- Insurance float = leverage with no interest
- Payment networks have the best moats
- Capital ratios matter more than P/E
