How Has Warren Buffett's Stock Portfolio Performed in 2021?
Warren Buffett is one of the greatest investors of all time, and his company, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B), has greatly rewarded its shareholders. From 1964 to 2020, Berkshire's stock delivered a compound annual growth rate of 20%. In comparison, the S&P 500 Index generated an annualized gain of 10.2% -- including dividends.
Berkshire has earned a large portion of its ever-increasing value through its own investment portfolio. Now 91 years old, Buffett has given some of the company's investing responsibilities to his lieutenants. However, the Oracle of Omaha is certainly still involved in at least some of the decision-making. Let's take a look at how Berkshire's equities portfolio has performed this year.
Over the past few years, Berkshire's stock portfolio has traded blows with the S&P 500. In 2019, the fair value of Buffett and Berkshire's portfolio climbed a whopping 44%, compared to the S&P 500's very respectable 29% gain. But last year, the S&P squeaked out a win, rising 16.3%, compared to the 13.4% gain in Berkshire's stock portfolio.
