V vs MCO
Visa · Moody's Corp
Superinvestor ownership overlap, unique holders, and conviction comparison.
What the ownership overlap reveals
Across 11 tracked superinvestors, 6 hold both V and MCO (55% of the combined holder base), led by Chuck Akre (14.2% V · 13.4% MCO). V appears in 10 tracked portfolios; MCO in 7, so V 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, V’s ConvictionScore reads −14 (slight selling) against MCO’s +14 (slight accumulation); MCO shows the stronger net-accumulation reading of the pair.
Among the 6 managers holding both, 3 size V larger and 3 size MCO larger — an even conviction split. A name held with higher weight by managers who own both is one the shared cohort is more concentrated in.
