Greg Abel (グレッグ・アベル) became CEO in January as Warren Buffett's (ウォーレン・バフェット) successor and indicated that he intends to convey Buffett's investment philosophy to Japanese companies. He has also stressed that, even after Buffett, who retired from the forefront of management at year-end 2025, dialogue and the process of bridging differences will remain priorities.
Greg Abel (グレッグ・アベル) became CEO of the new Berkshire Hathaway in January. In an interview with Nikkei, he said he would carry forward the insights of Buffett (バフェット氏), who is regarded as an investment genius, and made clear his policy of bridging differences through discussion when opinions diverge.
Abel (アベル氏) said he had also inherited expectations for Japanese companies, suggesting that Japanese companies could be viewed not only as shareholdings but also as potential collaboration partners. Some believe this approach could influence investment trends in the United States and the role of companies in the capital markets.
Meanwhile, Warren Buffett (ウォーレン・バフェット) is said to have withdrawn from the forefront of management at year-end 2025, and Abel (アベル氏), as his successor, has indicated that he will emphasize continuity in investment strategy and ongoing dialogue.
The remainder of the article is available only to members, so further reporting is awaited on Abel's (アベル氏) specific investment policies and their application to the Japanese market.
