A global equity fund whose manager has drawn comparisons to Warren Buffett in the U.K. press is outperforming rivals thanks to a 166 percent rally in World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. over the past seven months.

London-based Lindsell Train Ltd sits atop the holder list with 7.1 million shares at the end of March. This equates to almost 17 percent of the total outstanding shares, according to Bloomberg data.

The company has been in the stock since at least 2009, regulatory filings show.

Nick Train, who co-founded the company in 2000, has been called a "British Buffett disciple" by the Financial Times and the "U.K.’s answer to Warren Buffett" by retail stockbroker Hargreaves Lansdown.

His global equity fund has returned almost 9 percent year-to-date and more than 20 percent in the past year. The fund is beating 95 percent of its peers this year and has outperformed 98 percent in the past three years, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Top 10 Warren Buffett Stocks To Own For 2019: Zillow Group, Inc.(Z)

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Rick Munarriz]

  Last week was a rough one for Zillow (NASDAQ:Z) (NASDAQ:ZG) investors. Shares of the real estate website operator tumbled roughly 15% after disappointing the market with its second-quarter results. 

• [By Paul Ausick]

Before markets opened Tuesday morning Discovery Inc. (NASDAQ: DISCA) and Dish Network Corp. (NASDAQ: DISH) also released earnings reports. Here’s a quick look at the reports and the reactions to them.

• [By Tim Beyers]

  With the real estate market cooling noticeably, is now the time to go bargain hunting for real estate stocks? Certainly, if you're thinking about Redfin (NASDAQ:RDFN). However, I wouldn't be buying Zillow Group (NASDAQ:Z) (NASDAQ:ZG) right now. Here's why.

• [By Motley Fool Staff]

  First, they review the second-quarter data from online real estate giant Zillow Group (NASDAQ:Z) (NASDAQ:ZG), which was bad, and its plan ahead, which looks scary. The company missed on revenue, and its guidance was weak, too, which would have been enough on its own to push shares lower. But the revelation that it was buying Mortgage Lenders of America did it no favors either. As Zillow moves into lending and house flipping, there's a lot of fear among investors that it's trying to elbow its way into some already crowded spaces where it's strengths won't translate.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average set its first all-time high since January, rising about 250 points as investors felt more confident about a potential positive resolution to the trade tensions between the U.S. and several key trading partners. Looking more closely at certain sectors of the market, the cannabis industry continued to see a lot of interest, and stocks that have even the appearance of some connection to marijuana generally did well. Canopy Growth (NYSE:CGC), Corbus Pharmaceuticals Holdings (NASDAQ:CRBP), and New Age Beverages (NASDAQ:NBEV) were among the best performers on the day. Here's why they did so well.
