Key learnings from Berkshire Hathway’s track record:
The track record of Berkshire Hathaway under the leadership of Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger is
legendary. A Berkshire shareholder would’ve generated annualized returns of 20.1% over 1965-2021 vs. 10.5%
for S&P500 index. This translates into an overall gain of 36,41,613% for Berkshire shareholders vs. 30,209%
for the index- more than 100x difference in total returns! However, Berkshire Hathaway’s monthly
performance exceeded S&P500 in only 51% of historical instances! When we increase the duration over which
returns are computed from a month to a year, the picture changes positively. For instance, using the annual
returns reported in the 2021 Berkshire letter, the percentage of instances of relative underperformance comes
down to ~33% (19 out of 57 years) versus 49% when using monthly returns.
1. This disconnect between frequent short-term under-performance and frequent long-term
outperformance of Berkshire Hathaway (BH) vs S&P500 is due to a combination of the following three
factors:
2. Short term performance is more driven by noise than by fundamentals;
3.Fundamentals of Berkshire Hathaway’s investee companies compounded at a rate much faster than
the fundamentals of S&P500 over the longer term. In fact, the firm’s book value per share
compounding and share price compounding has moved in-line with each other.
4.The average quantum by which Berkshire outperformed the S&P500 during the 51% of monthly
instances was ~4.2%, higher than the average quantum of underperformance during the 49% of
monthly instances (~3.4%) (see exhibit 5 below)
Berkshire’s 57-year track record shows that the pursuit of short-term returns significantly damages compounded returns in the long term. Please click here for detailed note: Newsletter
