New England Asset Management (NEAM), owned through Berkshire’s acquisition of General Re in 1998, holds several stocks offering dividend yields between X% and 10.5%. While Buffett doesn’t directly manage NEAM, its portfolio is considered part of Berkshire’s broader holdings. As of the end of Q1 2025, NEAM held nine notable high-yield stocks. These include familiar names like Kraft Heinz, Pfizer, Verizon, and Campbell’s, as well as business development companies like Ares Capital and Golub Capital. Among them, Verizon has the largest stake, representing XXX% of NEAM’s portfolio and yielding 6.3%. Despite their high yields, many of these stocks have underperformed this year. Kraft Heinz is down over XX% year-to-date, and Campbell’s has dropped more than 26%. Still, the appeal lies in their reliable payouts, especially as the broader S&P XXX yields just 1.2%. Buffett has long praised the power of dividend compounding, and this quiet play through NEAM reflects that philosophy. For investors seeking passive income in a volatile market, these holdings offer a glimpse at how even conservative portfolios can benefit from steady, high-yield names.
