Warren Buffett, the head of Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA) (BRKB), is considered to be one of the top investors, and is probably the most well known investor in the world. In addition, Buffett is a very interesting character.
Many investors like to copy Buffett’s investments, in order to match his superior returns.
So the first thing a copycat investor would do is to check and see what stock he owns more of than any other investment. Can you guess what that stock is?
It is Apple Inc. (AAPL), the iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch company. According the Berkshire Hathaway’s latest report to the SEC, Apple makes up 21.27% of the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio, a fairly large commitment. Buffett has 239 million shares worth over $40 billion.
The second largest shareholding is Wells Fargo (WFC), making up 12.66% of the Berkshire portfolio. In third place is Bank of America (BAC) at 10.78%.
Rounding out the top five shareholdings is Kraft Heinz (KHC) representing 10.74% of the portfolio and Coca-Cola (KO) at 9.19%.
To see all the stocks owned by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, so to the Buffett Stock List.
Hopefully you can ride on Buffett’s coattails to investment success.
