How to follow Berkshire Hathaway's holdings in your own brokerage account

How to follow Berkshire Hathaway's holdings in your own brokerage, versus sites that only show the 13F as a table.

Chris Josephs10 min read

I'm Chris, one of the co-founders of Autopilot. People search for the best app to track Berkshire Hathaway's holdings, and most of the answers they get are websites that show you a table. That's tracking. It's usually free and it's fine. But almost nobody actually wants a table. They want their own account to hold what Berkshire holds. Those are two different things, so let me explain both.

One thing first, because we're an SEC-registered investment adviser and I have to say it. Autopilot is the app. The actual investment advice comes from Autopilot Advisers, LLC. If you want the full legal version of anything in here, it's on our disclaimer page.

Tracking versus following

Tracking means you look at Berkshire's positions somewhere. There are plenty of free sites that parse the filing and put it in a table. Nothing happens in your account. You still have to go place the trades yourself, in the right proportions, and then do it again every quarter when the filing changes.

Following means the positions show up in your own brokerage account and stay updated. That's what Autopilot does. You pick the Buffett Tracker, you connect the brokerage you already use, and when the Portfolio changes we send the orders to your broker and your broker fills them. Your money never leaves your account. It connects the way Venmo connects to your bank account.

So if what you want is a table, use a free tracker site. If what you want is the positions, that's this.

Where the data comes from, and the delay

Berkshire Hathaway is an institutional manager, so it files a Form 13F with the SEC every quarter listing its reportable US stock positions. That filing is public. Our Buffett Tracker is built from it.

Here's the part most apps bury. A 13F can be filed 45 or more days after the quarter ends. So the filing you're reading is old the day it posts, and our trades follow the filing after it posts. Your trade lags Berkshire's by that much. We publish that on the tracker fact sheet and I'd rather tell you now than have you find out later.

Two more honest limits. A tracker is not Berkshire's account. It doesn't use anything nonpublic, and it doesn't reproduce their exact positions or timing. And a 13F covers reportable US stock positions, not the whole company. Berkshire owns entire businesses and holds cash, and none of that shows up in a 13F or in any app built on one.

The three steps

Step one, choose your Portfolio. In this case the Buffett Tracker.

Step two, connect your personal brokerage. Schwab, Public, whichever one you already use. Autopilot isn't a broker-dealer. We don't hold your money, we don't custody anything, and nothing transfers out. You give Autopilot Advisers limited authority to send orders to the account you already have.

Step three, allocate the money. From there it runs itself. When the Portfolio changes, we send the orders, your broker fills them, and your positions update.

What it costs

You pay a flat cash subscription, not a percentage of your balance. Per our Form CRS dated February 2026, Basic Tier has no Base Advisory and Licensing Fee, and Premium Tier is $29.99 to $199.99 a quarter or $99.99 to $699.99 a year. That fee doesn't go up with the number of Pilots you follow. Pilot subscriptions are separate and add on if you follow more than one.

Because it's a flat dollar amount, it's a bigger share of a small account than a big one. Do the math at your balance before you decide.

Berkshire is one of the people you can follow, not the only one

The reason we built this wasn't Buffett specifically. It was that most people have three options: guess at stocks on their own, put everything in index funds, or hand it to a stranger who has 300 other clients. There should be a fourth option, which is to pick a person whose decisions are public and follow those.

If you needed surgery you wouldn't do it yourself, you'd go to a surgeon. Same with stock picking. Do not stop at the stocks. Read the Portfolio. Berkshire's filings are public, and so are the filings of other institutional managers and members of Congress, and we publish fact sheets for dozens of Portfolios, each with a live client composite and a date on it. Go read them before you pick one.

Frequently asked questions

Best app to track Berkshire Hathaway's holdings

Depends what you mean by track. If you want to read the positions, several free sites publish Berkshire's 13F as a table. If you want those positions held in your own brokerage account and kept updated, that's what Autopilot's Buffett Tracker does: you connect the brokerage you already use, and when the Portfolio changes we send the orders and your broker fills them.

How do I copy Warren Buffett's portfolio?

You can place the trades yourself from the public 13F filing, in your own proportions, and redo it each quarter. Or you connect a brokerage to Autopilot, pick the Buffett Tracker, and allocate money, and it updates after each filing posts. Either way you're working from the same public filing, with the same 45 or more day delay.

Warren Buffett portfolio tracker app

Autopilot's Buffett Tracker follows Berkshire's public 13F filings after they post and holds the disclosed positions in your own connected brokerage account, updating after each filing. It is built and managed by Autopilot Advisers, LLC, not by Berkshire Hathaway, and it reflects reportable US stock positions from the filing, not Berkshire's whole company. Its live follower record is on its fact sheet.

How can I follow Warren Buffett's portfolio in my own brokerage?

Yes, that's the design. Autopilot runs inside the brokerage you already have. The money stays at your broker, your broker executes and holds everything, and Autopilot Advisers has limited authority to send orders.

app to invest like Warren Buffett

Autopilot is an app where you follow Berkshire's disclosed positions in the brokerage account you already have, through the Buffett Tracker, rather than reading them in a table. You don't need to be accredited; it's a subscription and a connected brokerage account, not a fund. Your account will lag Berkshire's by the filing delay, which the fact sheet discloses, and anyone offering Berkshire's trades faster than the filing is not working from public information.

Berkshire Hathaway latest 13F holdings

The newest filing is always on the SEC's EDGAR site under Berkshire Hathaway Inc, filed within 45 days after each quarter ends, and it lists the reportable US stock positions as of the quarter's last day. I don't reprint holdings here because they change and this page doesn't. The Buffett Tracker follows that filing after it posts, and its fact sheet shows the Portfolio's largest positions with a timestamp.

Can I see which stocks Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway bought last quarter?

Yes, by comparing two consecutive 13F filings on EDGAR: positions that appear or grow between them were bought, ones that shrink or vanish were sold, all as of quarter end and visible only once the newer filing posts. The Buffett Tracker does that comparison for you after each filing and adjusts the Portfolio, which your account then follows, with the filing lag disclosed on its fact sheet.
