OMAHA — Billionaire Warren Buffett renewed speculation about his successor Monday by hiring a new investment manager to handle “a significant portion” of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.’s investment portfolio.
Buffett offered few details about Todd Combs in a news release announcing the 39-year-old’s hiring, but the move fits with the succession plan the 80-year-old has outlined for the company he leads.
Combs has managed the Castle Point Capital hedge fund for the past five years.
