That’s a lot of cash. How many different currencies I wonder....

Well, his low has been 22% around 2008-11... as institutional investor, he has to maintain a bigger cash position than us retail investors since he can make bigger sudden moves like private equity or M&A dealshttps://seekingalpha.com/article/4112235-forget-copy-warren-buffetts-biggest-position …

Setting cash aside can be to invest in great deals or avoid risk. Two different intents, same action.

Aren't they the same thing? Expecting great deals is the same as expecting a crash and therefore risk of such. Unless you mean expectation of great deals in M&A or private equity.

how much of a factor is tax planning in this allocation? is cash the best hedge for increased volatility in stocks?
-
I don't actually know anything about how big institutional funds do tax planning. I suppose it depends on how much of their funds are in retirement/tax-deferred vehicles etc.

Yah, those portfolio balance facts are a measure of self-insurance and therefore a measure of precieved risk, which is way more meaningful than a technical measure of volatility.
