Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) chairman and legendary value investor Warren Buffett is among the best investors of all time, with an immense fan following. The “Oracle of Omaha” has been in the news this month for two reasons. The first was the annual shareholder meeting in Omaha, which is popularly known as “Woodstock for Capitalists.”
More recently, the conglomerate released its 13F for Q1, which could have been a nonevent, if not for the disclosure of the “mystery holding” where Berkshire has been building a stake. After keeping the holding confidential for three quarters, Berkshire revealed that it holds 26 million shares in Zurich-based insurer Chubb (CB). The stake was worth $6.7 billion at the end of March, making it Berkshire’s ninth biggest holding.
