Buffett's amazing investing track record has led to a greater than 3,600,000% return for his company's shareholders since 1965.
Due to an acquisition in 1998, Buffett has a "hidden" portfolio with $5.9 billion in assets under management.
The latest round of 13F filings revealed three brand-new growth stocks added to Berkshire's secret portfolio during the second quarter.
There are few investors who command the attention of a room quite like Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Since taking the reins in 1965, he's led his company's Class A shares (BRK.A) to an average annual gain of 20.1%, which translates into an aggregate return of 3,641,613%, as of the end of 2021. Though no investor is infallible, Buffett's knack for picking winners has earned him a captive audience.
The easiest way for investors to ride the Oracle of Omaha's coattails is to track Berkshire Hathaway's required quarterlyForm 13Ffilings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Buffett's "hidden" portfolio purchased three fast-growing companies in the second quarter
A 13F is essentially a snapshot of what the brightest money managers with at least $100 million in assets under management were holding at the end of the most recent quarter. It allows investors to see what these fund managers have been buying, selling, and holding, as well as establish what trends or industries are piquing the attention of professional money managers. Berkshire Hathaway filed its 13F exactly one week ago today, on Aug. 15.
However, you might be surprised to learn that Berkshire Hathaway's 13F fails to tell the full story behind Buffett's direct and indirect holdings. For instance, you won't find any information about Warren Buffett's most-purchased stock over the past four years in Berkshire's 13F. That's because stock buybacks are only disclosed in the company's quarterly operating results. Since July 2018, Buffett and his right-hand man Charlie Munger have overseen the repurchase of $62.1 billion of Berkshire Hathaway's Class A and Class B (BRK.B) shares.
