Markel is excellent long-term compounder.
Markel is often described as a smaller version of Berkshire Hathaway, is led by Tom Gayner, and has been an excellent long-term compounder for shareholders, outperforming the market since Gayner joined in 1990. Clay highlights the Markel annual shareholder meeting as a worthwhile value-investing event and presents Markel as a quality long-term compounder.
