This is Scott Becker with the Becker Business, the Becker Private Equity Podcast. Today's discussion is the 10 largest Berkshire Hathaway holdings. And people follow this closely because Berkshire Hathaway has been so successful the last 30 to 40 to 50 years. And to give people a sense of where they should invest, where they shouldn't invest. I spent some of my time in my life mimicking some of what they do in the fund. I'm largely an index fund investor, but we'll give you the 10 biggest holdings. This was reported recently by Benzinga, so we'll use a little bit of their data there, too. I think we're directly a holder in about three or four of these companies, not in the other six. But here's the 10 biggest holdings. The three biggest are Apple at 23% of their fund, American Express at 21% and bank of America 10%. So those are the three biggest. Coca Cola is really closely behind bank of America at 10%. I personally own some shares directly in B of A and Coca Cola. I've not had a home run with those. They've been fine. But it came out of one period when I was trying to mimic what's going on with the Berkshire Hathaway holdings. Again, the first five, Apple amx, B of A, Coca Cola and then Chevron. So those are the first five biggest holdings of Berkshire Hathaway. The next five. And there's a couple here that I did not know were in their top 10. Moody's Corporation, which is does all kinds of things like the bond ranking firm, rating firm and so forth. Occidental Petroleum, another big oil firm. I assume that Occidental and Chevron, with oil prices spiking, will do really well this year. We'll see. I don't know. Chubb Insurance is their eighth largest holding. Ninth is Kraft Heinz, the consumer company. And finally tenth is Google Alphabet, about 2% of the fund. They've got about $6 billion in Google Alphabet. So again, those top ten, in order, Apple number one, American Express number two, B of A, number three, Coca Cola number four, Chevron number five, Moody's Corp number six Occidental Petroleum number seven Chubb number eight ninth is Kraft Heinz and number ten is Alphabet slash Google. Again we're an investor I think directly in three of those. I'm largely an index fund investor, but fascinating to see. This is as of the very end of last year there are 10 largest holdings at Berkshire Hathaway when Warren Buffett turned over the crown to Greg Abel. Thank you for listening to the Becker Business and the Becker Private Equity podcast.
