Summary
- Markel is a well-run insurance company with a conservative underwriting philosophy and strong investment returns.
- Like Berkshire Hathaway’s investment in Geico, Markel uses proceeds from the insurance business to invest in other businesses and equities.
- While I see plenty of long-term potential, value investors may want to wait for a pullback in price before buying.
