Shares of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway have rallied lately even though its largest equity holding, Apple, is under pressure.

The company’s shares hit a record high Tuesday, its market value topped $800 billion and its performance has moved above that of the S&P 500 so far this year.

Berkshire Hathaway investors will be happy to know that the stock also recently pulled ahead of the S&P 500 for the latest five- and 10-year periods, as well. Ultimately, CEO Buffett and Vice Chairman Charlie Munger have said, investors should consider an S&P 500 index fund over Berkshire Hathaway if it can’t top the index over an extended period.

Berkshire Hathaway’s slight edge over the index during the past 10 years and a somewhat wider advantage over the last 20 years show the difficulty in beating an index weighted heavily with top-performing tech stocks such as Apple, Amazon.com , and Alphabet even for someone of Buffett’s stature and experience.

The equity portfolio, which totaled more than $375 billion on June 30, likely has declined in value so far this quarter due to the drop in Apple stock, which accounts for nearly half of its value. That might mean Berkshire Hathaway’s book value has changed little so far in the third quarter. Book value stood at roughly $373,000 per class A share at the end of June, Barron’s calculates.

Newsletter Sign-up One issue is succession. Buffett turned 93 in late August and he will clearly be tough to follow given his manifold skills and towering reputation. His likely successor, Berkshire Hathaway Vice Chairman Greg Abel, who heads the company’s non-insurance operations, is well liked by many Berkshire Hathaway holders but has a lower profile in the broader investment community.
