Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK/A) disclosed stakes in General Motors Co. (GM) and Viacom Inc. as deputies Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, both former hedge-fund managers, built their portfolios under Chairman Warren Buffett.

 

Buffett’s firm had 10 million shares of the automaker on March 31, the Omaha, Nebraska-based company said today in a filing disclosing U.S. stockholdings at the end of the first quarter. The stake in New York-based Viacom was about 1.59 million shares. The filing excludes some confidential data.
