Legendary investor Warren Buffett’s company, Berkshire Hathaway, has recently made headlines for sitting on its largest cash reserve ever – a staggering 334 billion dollars. This figure has been steadily increasing over time and was further boosted after Buffett sold off some of his holdings in tech giant Apple and banking institution Bank of America.
Known for his patient and calculated investment strategy, Buffett only makes moves when the odds are in his favor. This has led many investors to question what kind of opportunity he is waiting for. However, Buffett is not the only one holding a significant amount of cash at the moment.
TPP, a company that closely follows the market and boasts a top-tier performance, also has a large cash reserve. Unlike Buffett, TPP takes a more active approach to investing and regularly adjusts its portfolios and strategies to take advantage of market fluctuations.
Currently, both Buffett and TPP are underexposed to global equities, with TPP’s tracker-based products and two other approaches showing minimal long exposure. This is in contrast to the traditional approach of holding onto equities for the long term, which Buffett is known for.
In a statement, Buffett reassured shareholders that his preference for equities will not change, despite the large cash reserve. He also emphasized the value of the firm’s private holdings, which have seen an increase in value.
Meanwhile, Lane Clark and Ed Davies, the founders of TPP, agree with Buffett’s long-term view on global equities but also believe that a more modern approach to investing can boost returns. TPP’s strategies, which involve making semi-regular tweaks to portfolios, are currently in a flat/market neutral position due to the uncertainty of the markets.
Both Buffett and TPP’s founders warn investors to be cautious, as these companies have a track record of beating market benchmarks. With both the old, experienced voice of Buffett and the fresh, innovative voices of TPP in agreement, it seems there may be something in the air for investors to be concerned about.
