B did better over the period: $1,000 invested on October 28, 2022 grew to $2,740, versus $1,800 for BRK-A. B’s 174.0% return substantially exceeded BRK-A’s 80.0%, but it came with considerably higher risk: 46.3% volatility versus 14.4%, and a worst drawdown of 33.4% versus 14.4%. B also led over three years, up 146.5% versus 57.0%, although recent performance was mixed: B fell 11.0% year to date and 9.9% over one month, while BRK-A gained 7.9% and 7.2%, respectively. Their low 0.112 correlation indicates limited relationship between daily moves. The comparison matters because B delivered stronger growth but with substantially greater fluctuations and losses during downturns; BRK-A provided the steadier risk profile.
