Every quarter, institutional investment managers with over $100 million in assets under management are required to disclose their holdings in quarterly reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), known as a 13F filing. These reports give investors insight into the holdings of these large investment firms and can provide valuable information about the investment strategies of these institutional investors.
Goelzer Investment Management, Inc., a registered investment advisor based in Indiana, recently filed their 13F report for the third and fourth quarters of 2022.

Similarly, the number of shares held in IVV decreased from 148,186 in Q3 to 146,905 in Q4, and the value of the position decreased by 6.2%.

While they made some new investments, they were also reducing their positions in some of the more popular tech stocks. Additionally, they increased their exposure to international equities, energy, and materials, suggesting that the firm may see potential in these sectors in the coming months.
It's important to remember that 13F filings represent a snapshot in time and don't provide a complete picture of an investment firm's strategy.
