Macquarie Group Limited's competitive moat stems from its scale advantages, diversified business model enabling interconnectedness and cross-selling, strategic acquisitions for market expansion, and leadership in infrastructure asset management, though some analyses highlight vulnerabilities like low switching costs and competition from larger peers.
