巴菲特致合伙人的信(1961年)
⑧其它事项


Miscellaneous

We are now installed in an office at 810 Kiewit Plaza with a first-class secretary, Beth Henley, and an associate with considerable experience in my type of securities, Bill Scott. My father is sharing office space with us (he also shares the expenses) and doing a brokerage business in securities. None of our brokerage is done through him so we have no "vicuna coat" situation.

其他事项

我们现在搬到了基威特大厦810室办公,还聘请了一个专业的秘书Beth Henley,还有一个帮我调研股票多年的同事Bill Scott。我父亲和我们共用一个办公室(他也分摊费用)做券商业务。我们没有一笔券商业务是通过我父亲做的,所以没有利益输送的问题。

Overall, I expect our overhead, excluding interest on borrowings and Nebraska Intangibles Tax, to run less than 0.5 of 1% of net assets. We should get our money's worth from this expenditure, and you are most cordially invited to drop in and see how the money is being spent.

除了借款利息和内布拉斯加州无形资产税,我估计我们的开支不到净资产的0.5%或1%。我们的这笔开支应该是值得的,欢迎你随时到访视察。

With over 90 partners and probably 40 or so securities, you can understand that it is quite a welcome relief to me to shake loose from some of the details.

现在我们有90多位合伙人,40多只股票,相信你能理解,我很高兴能从一些琐碎的日常工作中解脱出来。

We presently have partners residing in locations from California to Vermont, and net assets at the beginning of 1962 amounted to $ 7,178,500.00. Susie and I have an interest in the partnership amounting to $1,025,000.00, and other relatives of mine have a combined interest totaling $782,600.00. The minimum for new partners last year was $25,000, but I am giving some thought to increasing it this year.

从加州到佛蒙特,现在我们的合伙人遍布各地,1962年初的净资产达到了7,178,500美元。苏茜和我在合伙基金中的权益是1,025,000美元,我的其他亲属权益合计782,600美元。去年新合伙人的投资门槛是25,000美元,今年我考虑要提升这个限额。

Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Company did an excellent job of expediting the audit, providing tax figures much earlier than in the past. They assure me this performance can be continued.

Peat,Marwick,Mitchell&Company出色地完成了审计工作,与往年相比,更早地给出了报税数字。他们说今后一定会继续如此。

Let me hear from you regarding questions you may have on any aspects of this letter, your audit, status of your partnership interest, etc. that may puzzle you.

关于这封信的内容、审计、你的合伙权益,如有任何疑问,请随时找我。

Cordially Warren E. Buffett.
