Arguably some of the best sources of value investing knowledge around are the annual pearls in the shape of Warren Buffett’s Letters to Shareholders of his investing vehicle Berkshire Hathaway.

However as some of you may realize, the humble beginnings of the World’s most successful asset allocator date back to late 1950 whereas the widely available Letters to Shareholders only report on Mr. Buffett’s investing adventures from 1977 onwards.

Effectively a vast pool of invaluable investing knowledge, provided in the annual letters of The Buffett Partnership (ie. Mr. Buffett’s humble beginnings in the pre-Berkshire investing era) and covering the years 1959 to 1968, is much harder to come by.

Yet, in my opinion, the strategies and information in them may be of much assistance to an average value investor, who is probably nowhere near to the available investing “float�? levels of Berkshire Hathaway hence unable to fully benefit from the knowledge gained through dedicated reading of the annual Letters to Shareholders.

As I see it, on the investing level, most of the value aimed investors (and their investing position) align much better against the investing profile of “early Buffett�? than with the billionaire philanthropist of today.

Realizing that, I took my time and read through all the Buffett Partnership reports and I must say, as all most of the Buffett’s writings, its an enjoyable reading indeed. And since, for some to me unknown reason, they were rather difficult to find, I decided to host them here for all my readers to enjoy and learn how its done.

Note: Should there be any issues with hosting the publicly available Buffett Partnership annual reports here please let me know. Thank you.
