[글로벌이코노믹 김재희 기자] 투자의 달인으로 워런버핏이 주주들에게 보내는 연례 서한을 보냈다.

워런버핏은 일년에 한 번씩 주주들에게 연례서한을 발송하고 있다. 버핏은 이 서한에서 주주들에게 지난 1년 간의 실적을 보고하고 또 경제상황에대한 진단과 자신의 경영철학도 곁들이고 있다. 버핏의 이 서한은 미국에서 월가에서 가장 많이 읽히는 글이다. 영향력 또한 높다
이 글은 월 스트리트 저널을 비롯한 현지 언론과 버크셔 해서웨이 홈페이지를 통해 공개됐다

워런버핏은 현지시간 28일 공개된 이 글에서 버크셔 헤서웨이가 2015년중 240억8000만 달러의 영업이익을 올렸다고 밝혔다. 전년 대비 42억1000만달러 증가한 것이다. 매출은 전년대비 160억달러 늘어난 2108억 달러에 달했다.

버핏이 주식투자에서 가장 큰 투자이익을 올린 투자대상은 식품회사인 크래프트-하인즈와 BNSF 철도이다.

워런버핏은 또 전세계 증시가 흔들리고 마치 공황이 온 것처럼 이야기하지만 지금 미국경제는 그들의 진단보다 훨씬 양호하다고 말했다.

지금이 뉴욕증시에 투자할 때 라는 것이다.

대통령 선거에 나선 대선후보들이 미국을 비판하지만 이 또한 정치 슬로건일 뿐 미국은 견실하다고 말했다.

In the table at the top of the page (which, as noted, reports after-tax results), we give investment and derivative
gains (losses) lines of their own because the amounts of these in any given quarter or year are often meaningless.

equivalent share. Insurance float (the net liabilities we assume under insurance contracts) at December 31, 2015
was approximately $88 billion.

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. The reconciliations of such measures to the
most comparable GAAP figures in accordance with Regulation G are included herein.
Berkshire presents its results in the way it believes will be most meaningful and useful, as well as most transparent,
to the investing public and others who use Berkshire’s financial information. That presentation includes the use of
certain non-GAAP financial measures. In addition to the GAAP presentations of net earnings, Berkshire shows
operating earnings defined as net earnings exclusive of investment and derivative gains/losses.
Although the investment of insurance and reinsurance premiums to generate investment income and investment
gains or losses is an integral part of Berkshire’s operations, the generation of investment gains or losses is
independent of the insurance underwriting process. Moreover, under applicable GAAP accounting requirements,
losses can be created as the result of other-than-temporary declines in value without actual realization or when
certain types of investments are marked-to-market through earnings. In sum, investment and derivative
gains/losses for any particular period are not indicative of quarterly business performance.

Berkshire

Berkshire Hathaway and its subsidiaries engage in diverse business activities including insurance and reinsurance,
utilities and energy, freight rail transportation, finance, manufacturing, retailing and services. Common stock of
