Cuttings and Exits – What Buffett is Leaving Behind
The Form 13F filing does not provide specific information on reductions or exits from particular positions, as this data is not required for this filing. However, it’s possible that the fund made adjustments to its positions during the quarter, but these adjustments are not reflected in the Form 13F.
Limitations of the 13F: What This Filing Doesn’t Say
The Form 13F is a mandatory filing that fund managers must submit to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) within 45 days after the end of the quarter. This filing reflects the positions held by the fund as of the last day of the quarter, but it does not provide information on short positions, option positions, or holdings in non-U.S. companies. Additionally, the Form 13F does not reflect position adjustments that may have occurred during the quarter, as such adjustments are not required for this filing.
