Ava Hoppe | 10 May, 2023
Alkeon Capital Management LLC is a hedge fund that manages over $21 billion in assets. Every quarter, they are required by the SEC to file a 13F form, which discloses their holdings in the last quarter. In this article, we will compare Alkeon's Q3 2022 vs. Q4 2022 holdings to identify any significant changes and understand what these changes could mean.
In Q4 2022, Alkeon made interesting moves with its holdings. Their largest holdings, in terms of value, were QQQ and SPY. Although they held onto QQQ with only a minor decrease in shares (-0.1%), it significantly reduced its position in SPY with a -2.2% decrease in shares.
Interestingly, Alkeon made bullish bets on META PLATFORMS INC. They increased their call options on META by 60%, while also significantly increasing (62.5%) their shares of the company.
Another big increase in Alkeon's holdings was booking call options. They increased their holdings by 49%, making it one of their top five holdings in terms of percentage increase.
It's worth noting that Alkeon made significant decreases in some holdings compared to Q3 2022. For example, it decreased its shares of GOOGL by -21.2%, MSFT by -17.1%, and TSLA by -53.6%.
However, Alkeon's bullish bets on some companies could be an indication of its long-term strategy. META and Booking could be preparing for strong growth in the future, and Alkeon might be making its move early.
Alkeon's Q4 2022 holdings followed the trend of bullish positions on big tech companies but also saw them diversify their bets in some other sectors. For instance, they invested in Carleyle Group and MERCADOLIBRE. It's worth mentioning both companies are performing well in Q4 but have recently experienced a downward trend. Alkeon's bullish position on Cadence Design Systems and Analog Devices indicates they might be optimistic about the economy's semiconductor industry.
In conclusion, although some of Alkeon's top holdings and positions have been reduced, it has made significant bullish moves on several other companies. Investors should keep an eye on companies such as META, Booking, and Carleyle Group that may be on track for strong future growth.
