It also owns large stakes in companies like Apple and Coca-Cola \u2013 a brand close to Buffett&#8217;s heart, as he famously drinks five cans a day. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Buffett has made his mark through &#8220;value investing&#8221; \u2013 a strategy focused on finding companies with solid fundamentals, buying them at fair prices, and holding them for decades. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">His annual letters to shareholders and festival-like annual meetings turned him into a leading mentor across the financial world. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Despite his retirement from the top board post, the change is considered an orderly passing of the baton rather than a sudden shock. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;The timing is right to complete the transition,&#8221; Buffett wrote, noting he had recently celebrated his 96th birthday and the first birthday of one of his great-grandchildren, who is &#8220;moving a bit faster&#8221; than he is. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The company assured investors that day-to-day operations will remain steady. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">While Greg Abel manages corporate strategy and capital decisions, Howard Buffett&#8217;s main duty as chairman will be guarding the firm&#8217;s &#8220;culture and values&#8221;. A former farmer, philanthropist, and sheriff, the younger Buffett brings more than three decades of board experience to the role.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Buffett concluded his letter by saying it had been the &#8220;privilege of a lifetime&#8221; to serve as chairman, but acknowledged that in the end, &#8220;Father Time always wins&#8221;. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
