(Reuters) – Warren Buffett\u2019s Berkshire Hathaway Inc on Tuesday announced two major new investments, revealing an $8.6 billion stake in the phone company Verizon Communications Inc and a $4.1 billion stake in oil company Chevron Corp.<\/p>\n

The investments were disclosed in a regulatory filing detailing Berkshire\u2019s U.S.-listed stock holdings as of Dec. 31.<\/p>\n

Berkshire also disclosed a new $499 million stake in the professional services company Marsh & McLennan Cos.<\/p>\n

Tuesday\u2019s filing signals where Buffett and his portfolio managers Todd Combs and Ted Weschler see value, though Buffett normally handles larger investments.<\/p>\n

It also shows Berkshire finding ways to deploy its cash hoard, which totaled $145.7 billion as of Sept. 30, amid a five-year drought in finding large companies to buy outright.<\/p>\n

Berkshire had begun investing in Verizon, Chevron and Marsh by last year\u2019s third quarter, and had won U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission permission to delay revealing the stakes.<\/p>\n

The SEC has several times over the years let Berkshire quietly build stakes in companies, helping it avoid having investors piggyback on Buffett\u2019s wagers and drive up the companies\u2019 stock prices before Berkshire is done buying.<\/p>\n
