Read on the quarter
What the moves add up to
The quarter’s activity reinforces a heavy concentration in AI-enabling equities, with the top-10 holdings accounting for 83.3% of the portfolio. Nvidia (NVDA) was added and remains the largest position at 19.16% weight, while new exposure to Cerebras Systems (CBRS), Qualcomm (QCOM), and Space Exploration Techn (SPCX) extends the theme beyond a single platform. Additional adds such as Coreweave (CRWV) and Taiwan Semiconductor Mfg (TSM) also support a build-out across compute, networking, and semiconductors.
Within that broader AI tilt, the most meaningful counterbalance came from trims to major platform names. Meta Platforms (META) was trimmed, with the position weight at 7.76% and the action specifically marked as a trim (change shown as -30.6 on the quarter). Arm Holdings (ARM) and Uber Technologies (UBER) were also trimmed, albeit smaller on the table, while Snowflake (SNOW) was held with no indicated change. Overall, buys dominated (new 10, add 5), and the rotation appears less about broadly de-risking and more about reallocating toward AI infrastructure and related enablers.
Context
How to read this filing
A Form 13F is a quarterly snapshot institutional managers with over $100M in US-listed assets must file within 45 days of quarter end. It shows long equity positions only: no short book, no cash, no non-US listings, no timing inside the quarter. Treat it as a delayed map of where the manager's conviction sat on the reporting date — not a live portfolio, and not a buy list.
