Investment Insights: Changes in Holistic Financial Partners Q3 2022 vs. Q4 2022 Holdings

Holistic Financial Partners is a well-known investment management company that provides its clients with a comprehensive range of investment solutions. Recently, the company released its Q3 2022 vs. Q4 2022 13F holdings comparison, which highlights some interesting changes in their investment portfolio. In this article, we will discuss these changes and provide insights into the impact they could have on the market.

One of the most significant changes in Holistic Financial Partners' Q3 2022 vs. Q4 2022 holdings was in the pharmaceutical industry. The company increased its holdings in LILLY ELI & CO by a modest 13.2%, from 69,193 to 69,205 shares. Likewise, Merck & Co Inc reported a significant decline of 9.7%, from 5,898 to 5,025 shares. While it may not seem like a massive shift, these changes could indicate a growing preference for certain pharmaceutical companies.

Another notable area of change was in exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Holistic Financial Partners significantly boosted its stake in First Trust Exchange Traded FD III by more than 152% to 34,166 shares and increased its stake in First Trust Exchange-Traded FD by over 8% to 8,544 shares. At the same time, the company reduced holdings in Vanguard Tax-Managed FDS and ISHARES TR by 10.6% and 1.6%, respectively. These changes could represent a shift in the company's investment strategy, perhaps towards income-oriented ETFs rather than broad-market index funds.

In contrast, the company's investment in technology stocks seemed to remain relatively stable. Holistic Financial Partners increased its holdings in NVIDIA CORPORATION by 12.3%, from 3,531 to 3,298 shares, and in TEXAS INSTRS INC by 6.5%, from 1,989 to 1,986 shares. However, the firm reduced its holdings in PayPal Holdings Inc by 12.5%, from 4,358 to 4,609 shares. These alterations demonstrate a shift towards reliable technology companies, which could indicate a more conservative approach to investment in the tech sector.

Some of the more striking changes for Holistic Financial Partners were found in the energy segment. While the company increased its stake in Chevron Corp New by 16.5%, from 2,584 to 2,407 shares, it also purchased 6,000 shares of Exxon Mobil Corp, marking a significant shift since no Exxon Mobil shares were present in their Q3 2022 holdings. These significant investments in traditional energy companies suggest the company is betting on a significant return as the recovery from the pandemic continues.

In conclusion, Holistic Financial Partners' Q3 2022 vs. Q4 2022 13F holdings comparison signifies a growing shift toward pharma, traditional energy, and ETFs while still maintaining reliable technology stocks. While the changes may not be earth-shattering, they do indicate a growing preference for income-oriented ETFs and a more conservative approach to technology companies. As always, investors must conduct their own research before committing to any investment decisions.
