What actually moves these companies
These firms hold stakes in banks, insurers and hydropower companies, so their results are largely the results of what they own.
That makes them a proxy for the market rather than a bet on one business, and it makes their book value the number to read first.
Worth knowing: You are buying a portfolio you did not pick. Check what the holding company actually owns before treating it as diversification.
