Today was the deadline for hedge funds to submit their Q3 13-F filings, which considering they represent a snapshot in time as of Sept 30, prior to both the October volatility spike and the presidential election, are likely totally irrelevant by this time.
Among the more notable changes was Berkshire taking new stakes in American Airlines, Delta and United, sending the airlines sector higher after hours. Large-cap tech stocks remain favored as many funds bought or boosted stakes in Apple, Alphabet, Facebook and Alibaba just ahead of the post-Trump FANG rout.
David Tepper’s Appaloosa Management bought into the surge in technology stocks in the third quarter, taking new stakes in Apple, Yahoo and Facebook. Tepper, who moved Appaloosa to Miami Beach from New Jersey this year, added the social media company to his portfolio, as did Sarasota-based Aviance Capital Management, and Tampa-based Suncoast Equity. Boca Raton’s American Asset Management, Polen Capital and Steinberg Global, along with Aviance Capital Partners in Naples and St. Johns Investment in Jacksonville all boosted stakes in Facebook.
And speaking of Appaloosa, we find it amusing that the biggest long equity position of the wealthiest hegde fund manager possibly alive today, is none other than the market itself: at $541 million, Tepper’s top holding is the SPY.
Below is a summary, courtesy of Bloomberg of 3Q equity holdings from Sept. 30 13-F filings by the top hedge funds, with some of the new, added, cut and exited positions for each.
