All investors want one outcome: to make money! The stock market is a great way to build wealth, and one of the best ways to do that is by investing in high-quality companies that rake in cash regularly. But there are thousands of stocks to sift through, which can be daunting. So investors tend to stick with companies familiar to them and can overlook a lot of excellent businesses.
One company that flies under the radar is Arthur J. Gallagher (NYSE: AJG) , which has delivered investors the goods, producing a 541% return in the past decade -- more than double the S&P 500 's 224% return in the same period. Here's how it did it.
Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. provides insurance brokerage and consulting services, helping businesses manage risk. It doesn't write insurance policies, though. Instead, it helps companies find policies to cover their risk. Gallagher is the fourth-largest insurance brokerage in the world based on total revenue and has offices worldwide, with 475 in the U.S. and another 300 internationally.
