Billionaire investor Warren Buffett is looking to increase his investments in Asia to tap further into the region’s growth.<\/p>\n

He said his company Berkshire Hathaway is looking to buy entire businesses or large-cap shares in South Korea.<\/p>\n

Mr Buffett is in Korea to oversee the start of construction at TaeguTec, a metal-cutter manufacturing firm which he bought over in 2006.<\/p>\n

He is the third-richest man in the world according to the Forbes magazine.<\/p>\n

Berkshire already holds stakes in South Korean steel maker POSCO and Chinese car and battery maker BYD.<\/p>\n

Expanding horizons<\/span><\/p>\n

With $38bn (\u00a323bn) in cash at the end of last year, Berkshire is looking to add more businesses to its kitty.<\/p>\n

In his annual letter to shareholders last month, Mr Buffett said that Berkshire needed “major acquisitions” to expand further.<\/p>\n

Last week, Mr Buffett made one of his largest acquisitions ever, as he agreed to buy chemical and lubricants company Lubrizol in a deal worth $9bn.<\/p>\n

While that company is based in the US, Mr Buffett has said he is keeping his options open for further acquisitions.<\/p>\n

“We are looking for large businesses to buy…we are ready to invest in any country,” he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Buffett will continue his Asian trip with a visit to India on Tuesday. <\/p>\n

He will launch his firm’s insurance selling portal in the country and also meet with industry leaders there. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
