Markel (MKL): Berkshire Hathaway Reincarnated?
The BBAE team attended the Markel ($MKL) shareholder conference this week in Richmond, VA. Often referred to as a “Baby Berkshire,” Markel employs an investment strategy similar to Berkshire Hathaway, using its insurance company’s float to generate impressive returns across both public and private markets. The company also fosters a loyal shareholder base through engaging annual meetings. James and Shaoping attended the Markel “Reunion” in Richmond and share their insights in this video post on whether the $21-billion-market-cap Markel can truly be considered an alternative to the nearly $900-billion-market-cap Berkshire Hathaway.

A No-Downside ETF? Really?
Calamos Investments is shaking up the ETF world with their latest innovation – the Calamos S&P 500 Structured Alt Protection ETF (NYSE: $CPSM). Launched in May, this groundbreaking ETF offers investors the best of both worlds: the potential for upside gains (currently capped at 9.3% including fees) and complete downside protection. That’s right, zero downside risk for investors who buy at inception. James sat down with Mark Kaufman, Calamos’ Head of ETFs, to dive deeper into the mechanics of this game-changing product and discuss their upcoming suite of no-downside ETFs. In this video post, James and Mark explore how Calamos structures these ETFs without actually buying stocks, the inner workings of the 100% downside protection, the target investor for these products, and much more.

Silver Beech Capital: A Deep Dive into WillScot Mobile Mini ($WSC) and Dentalcorp ($DNTL)
In their recent Q1 2024 investor letter, featured in BBAE’s Pro Investor Letters, value-oriented investment firm Silver Beech Capital presented compelling investment cases for two under-the-radar companies: WillScot Mobile Mini ($WSC) and Dentalcorp ($DNTL). Portfolio manager James Hollier and his team believe these companies possess strong fundamentals, recurring revenue streams, and significant upside potential. $WSC, a dominant provider of modular building units and portable storage in North America, boasts exceptional pricing power, contracted recurring revenues, and an attractive valuation. Meanwhile, $DNTL, a leading consolidator of dental practices in Canada, benefits from predictable, recurring cash flows and a flexible M&A strategy. Take a look at what these Pro’s have to say!
