Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 181

Visa Inc. (NYSE:V) is a payments technology firm. One of the main reasons why the stock is a top choice for risk-averse investors is that it operates in the global payments industry. This industry handles trillions of dollars in transactions every year, and Visa is one of the biggest and most reliable players in this field. Since the firm does not issue any credit, but rather only charges transaction fees, it is somewhat shielded from the credit risks linked to other financial stocks. The firm also has one of the highest profit margins in the industry and has delivered double digits revenue and EPS growth consistently. It has paid a growing dividend to shareholders for the last sixteen years as well.
