However, from the examples given and other newly introduced shares in the filings, it is evident ACR has taken a good stance in emerging markets such as energy, emerging markets exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and growth stocks such as Vodafone Group PLC (VOD). ACR has also eliminated some stocks from its portfolio, such as Lumen Technologies Inc. (LUMN), Ishares TR (LQD), and Resolute Fst Prods Inc. (RFP), among others.
