Hard to imagine someone who invests would have no indirect positions in BRK. Any broad-market ETF would have substantial exposure.

If you click through to the fine print, it says, "THIS DISCLOSURE POLICY DOES NOT EXTEND TO BROAD-BASED ETFS / ETPS OR MUTUAL FUND HOLDINGS."
I think that's still fair, market following ETF/mutual funds are kind of the gold standard for avoiding conflict of interest issues. It's what my job forces me into to make avoiding insider training easier.
