Long a basic tenet of successful investors like Warren Buffett, identifying companies with moats is only the first step.
U.S. moats pulled ahead of the broad market for the year with continued strong performance in July, despite an underweight to IT, which has driven much of the market’s year-to-date returns.
U.S. moats bounced back in a big way in June as several companies and sectors contributed to a strong month, but international moats continued to struggle.
International moats were weighed down by telecomm companies in May and could not escape the selloff in Italy. Healthcare pulled down U.S. moats, but several companies stood out for good reason.
A bounce-back in the healthcare sector led the rebound in U.S. moats in April, while international moats lagged the broad market as two industrials leaders struggled.
