Insurance Australia Group (IAG) shares rallied on 16 June 2015 in response to a deal for US investment guru Warren Buffett to acquire a 3.7 per cent stake in the general insurer for $A500m. As part of the deal, Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway will be paid 20 per cent of IAG’s annual revenue for the next decade, which will be reinvested in a number of large Australian-listed companies. Buffett has indicated that bank stocks may be included in the portfolio.
