Warren Buffett and the late Charlie Munger believed that diversification is necessary only if you don’t know what you’re doing. “[Diversification] makes very little sense for those who know what they’re doing,” says Buffet.
The above eight core investment picks demonstrate Buffet’s philosophy of concentrated investing in recognizable brands and resilient business models.
Apple, with its innovative products and unrivaled brand loyalty, holds the largest share of Berkshire’s investments. Its dominance in the technology sector aligns with Buffett’s preference for companies with wide economic dominance.
Additionally, other popular companies like Coca-Cola and American Express have been pillars in Berkshire’s holdings for decades. Their consistent performance and entrenched market positions demonstrate Buffett’s fondness for long-term value creation.
Buffett’s positions on energy stocks Chevron and Occidental Petroleum highlight his forward-thinking approach to market trends. Considering energy’s relative insignificance in its portfolio historically, these investments reflect Berkshire’s expectation for the spot price of crude oil to remain inflated.
