Why super-investors own MCO
Cohort interest in MCO is at an eight-quarter high, with 16 owners holding a combined $19.8B — a figure dominated by Chris Hohn's $6.3B position, which represents 13.8% of his portfolio and is the single largest dollar holding in the group. Valley Forge Capital Management carries the highest concentration at 17.0%. In 2026Q1, Li Lu initiated a new position, and John Armitage added to his existing 7.5% stake, while Chuck Akre and AKO Capital trimmed modestly — neither exited. Owner count has climbed from 9 to 11 over the past two quarters, suggesting broadening rather than fading conviction. The preponderance of long-duration, quality-focused managers — Hohn, Akre, Armitage — points to the cohort viewing MCO as a durable-compounding holding rather than a tactical trade.
