You’ll find some of Berkshire’s recent purchases in this group. The company invested in Chubb Limited in 2023 and in UnitedHealth Group earlier this year, after its controversy-driven tumble. Buffett has publicly discussed missing out on e-commerce giant Amazon, though a couple of Buffett’s investment managers at Berkshire Hathaway eventually added the stock as a relatively minor position.
Spreading capital across various small bets
The remainder of the portfolio amounts to just 3% of Berkshire Hathaway’s holdings, but don’t dismiss them! Their cumulative value is just shy of $10 billion. Even the small positions matter when you manage this much capital.

Berkshire Hathaway’s cash position is remarkable, but is it a good strategy?
One glaring omission from Berkshire Hathaway’s portfolio is its tremendous cash position. Buffett has been accumulating cash on Berkshire Hathaway’s balance sheet for years. The company currently has $344.1 billion in cash, more than the market value of its entire stock portfolio and enough to buy most of the companies in the S&P 500 index outright.

Buffett is renowned for his patience and discipline in avoiding paying more for a stock than he believes it is worth. I’m in no position to question Buffett, I mean, who is? That said, it will be fascinating to look back on Buffett’s cash accumulation over the past few years to see what might have been.
It’s crucial to remember that managing hundreds of billions of dollars is a high-stakes endeavor, so risk management is paramount. For most individual investors, the best strategy is usually to dollar-cost average and stay invested. It doesn’t hurt to have some cash on hand for opportunities, but as the famous saying goes, “Time in the market beats timing the market.”
