And the results speak for themselves

Combine all of these factors — growth, revenue efficiency, and consistency — and what do you get? You get a best in class bank with best-in-class returns relative to equity and to assets.

How do they do it? Wells does it very similarly to how PNC and US Bancorp do it (by the way, how impressive was US Bancorp’s first quarter?!). They all keep it simple with blocking and tackling commercial and retail banking.

The takeaway comes back full circle to Warren Buffett. Never invest in a business you can not understand. Wells Fargo is a big bank that is still simple enough to understand.
