MA vs MCO
Mastercard · Moody's Corp
Superinvestor ownership overlap, unique holders, and conviction comparison.
What the ownership overlap reveals
Across 10 tracked superinvestors, 3 hold both MA and MCO (30% of the combined holder base), led by Chuck Akre (17.8% MA · 13.4% MCO). MA appears in 6 tracked portfolios; MCO in 7, so MCO is the more widely held of the two among tracked managers.
Both sit in Financials, so the overlap reflects manager preference within one sector rather than a cross-sector divide. On the latest 13F cohort, MA’s ConvictionScore reads 0 (mixed) against MCO’s +16 (slight accumulation); MCO shows the stronger net-accumulation reading of the pair.
Among the 3 managers holding both, 2 size MA larger and 1 size MCO larger — a lean toward MA. A name held with higher weight by managers who own both is one the shared cohort is more concentrated in.
