沃伦·巴菲特:伯克希尔 1998 年致股东信·补录 2

沃伦·巴菲特《伯克希尔·哈撒韦 1998 年致股东信》· 1998 Chairman's Letter · 投资 · 财富

The table that follows shows the float generated by Berkshire's insurance operations since we entered the business 32 years ago. The data are for every fifth year and also the last, which includes General Re's huge float. For the table we have calculated our float -- which we generate in large amounts relative to our premium volume -- by adding net loss reserves, loss adjustment reserves, funds held under reinsurance assumed and unearned premium reserves, and then subtracting agents balances, prepaid acquisition costs, prepaid taxes and deferred charges applicable to assumed reinsurance. (Got that?)

白话

巴菲特用一张表展示伯克希尔进入保险业32年来产生的浮存金,只列每第五年和最后一年,最后一年包含通用再保险带来的巨额浮存金。他解释浮存金怎么算:把净损失准备金、损失调整准备金、分入再保险持有的资金和未到期保费准备金加起来,再减去代理人余额、预付获取成本、预付税和分入再保险的递延费用。最后自嘲一句“看懂了吗?”——意思是这算法很绕,但核心就一句:浮存金是暂时替别人保管、却可以先拿来投资的钱。

上下文

1998年伯克希尔完成对通用再保险的收购,浮存金规模大增,巴菲特在年报中解释其构成。

今日一问

你能否用一句大白话,说清自己投资中“先收钱后付账”的部分?
