Warren Buffett is, quite simply, the most famous and iconic investor of all time. A series about the legends of trading and investing would be nothing without including arguably the most successful investor ever. His company, Berkshire Hathaway, has a market cap of over $400 billion and Buffett himself has a net worth of over $80 billion, making him the 3rd richest person in the world. His approach to value investing, combined with his influence over the companies he invests in and utilisation of their advantages, has seen him generate an average annualised gain of 20.8% per year since 1965. That percentage is just over double the 9.7% annualised returns the S&P 500 delivered over the same period of time. He's dubbed the 'Oracle of Omaha'; a man whose name is synonymous with wealth and investing... a true modern icon of success! In this podcast, we look at his background, how he got started in the markets, his investment philosophy and some of his biggest investing deals.
