As a famed equity fund manager, registered investment advisor, former senior portfolio manager at Lehman Brothers Holdings and managing director of Smith Barney, Bruce Berkowitz has made a name for himself not just on Wall Street but in investing circles spanning the globe. The founder and CEO of Fairholme Capital Management, in 2009, Berkowitz was named Domestic-Stock Fund Manager of the Decade by Morningstar Inc. 

Since its founding in 1997, Berkowitz-led Fairholme Capital Management has amassed $1.458 billion in assets under management. And in 2013, Institutional Investor Magazine named him Money Manager of the Year. Berkowitz has sat on boards including but not limited to the St. Joe Company, Sears Holdings Corp., White Mountains Insurance Group Ltd., AmeriCredit Corp., TAL International Group and Safety Insurance Group Inc., among others. 

Meanwhile, the Coral Gables, Florida resident has seen his own net worth grow to an estimated $1.28 billion as of Nov. 8, 2024. As a seasoned investor whose decisions command both respect and scrutiny, Berkowitz’s portfolio has drawn considerable attention over the years. And while his portfolio currently only holds seven positions, its estimated value of $1.458 billion and leanings — which heavily favor the financials sector — are worthy of investors’ attention.
