As Chairman of Berkshire, Buffett’s made several outstanding investments in industries ranging from financial services to consumer products. Even though these investments differed from each other, there were some remarkable similarities. The following is the description of the positive aspects of Warren Buffet’s investment style.

Invest in Brands That Have Pricing Power

Upon evaluating the trends in terms of the pricing of specific brands, you would notice that brands that have good pricing power have always provided good returns to the investors. It is one of the key factors which enables companies to “survive and thrive over decades”. The ability to pass price increments on to customers is the most important component for any brand as this allows the brand value to grow with time. With pricing power, comes the advantage of reaping profits from the consistent, perpetual tailwinds of inflation.

Invest in Brands With Staying Potential

Anyone can build a company and it does not take much effort to do so. But the question is, “Have you built a great company?” Whenever a company is formed, it should be done with the aim of pursuing the business activities for a long time (implied as forever). It is this staying potential of any brand that will not only generate confidence in the investors but it also contributes to sustaining and growing the market share. For example, if you think of cola, the first brand that comes to your mind is “Coca Cola”. Similarly, Gillette has been able to carve a niche for itself in the personal care and grooming segment, and the company is known for its high quality razor blades. These companies are here to stay and their efforts have in fact made their products synonymous to product categories. Investing in such companies could minimize your risk considerably.

Always Go For Interest Free Financing

If a loan is never required to be repaid, then is it actually a loan? This can be a bit complex to understand but I would try my best to explain it. In the case of Insurance Companies, they generate a float which is simply money that has been generated through premiums and this amount is expected to be paid at some future date. if a company is continuously able to create floats, then it has in a way borrowed money at no interest and this “debt” is not subjected to repayment. With this approach, you could generate substantial investment capita without having to worry about paying interests or returning the “debt”.
