It is tough to follow a legend.
Ted Weschler considers himself one of Warren Buffett's biggest admirers, but until this past summer, he couldn't actually see himself working for the Oracle of Omaha. The spotlight and scrutiny that come with such a job simply wouldn't be worth it.
Yet this month, the 50-year-old Mr. Weschler, a hedge-fund manager based in Charlottesville, Va., will join Berkshire Hathaway Inc. to help Mr. Buffett oversee Berkshire's $110 billion in stocks, bonds and other investments. That positions Mr. Weschler, along with 40-year-old Todd Combs, another former hedge-fund manager, as a candidate to take over, some day, a portfolio Mr. Buffett has run with unparalleled success for more than 45 years.
