Why super-investors own BNS
Ownership of BNS within this cohort is narrow and largely static — three managers hold a combined $49M, and the owner count has been unchanged at one for most of the past two years before ticking up modestly to three in recent quarters with no new entrants this period. Prem Watsa carries the highest conviction at 1.3% of his portfolio ($25M), a meaningful but not outsized allocation for the Fairfax Financial chairman who has longstanding familiarity with Canadian financials. Joel Greenblatt holds $22M and Lee Ainslie a token $3M, both at effectively zero portfolio weight. No one added, trimmed, or exited in 2026Q1, suggesting the positions are parked rather than actively managed. Interest is neither rising nor fading — it is simply flat.
