From Nasdaq:



Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway generate a lot of hype due to their incredible track record of strong performance, but many claims about Buffett’s investment selections are inflated and do not appreciate the full context of Berkshire Hathaway’s operations. While headlines often tout that Apple makes up half of Buffett’s portfolio, it actually makes up around 15% when considering the company’s entire asset base. Within Berkshire, assets include not only the investments in equity securities, but also a multitude of other businesses such as the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad, utility and energy holdings, and healthcare services. When considering the true market value of Berkshire’s holdings, the Apple position is likely worth 10% of its total assets. Overall, while Apple is a significant investment, it is not as important when considering the entire context of Berkshire’s operations and holdings.
