Ava Hoppe | 6 May, 2023
When it comes to investing, keeping track of changes in your portfolio is crucial. The same goes for institutional investors, who must regularly file their 13F holdings with the SEC. In this article, we'll take a closer look at the holdings of IMA Wealth, Inc. in Q3 2022 versus Q4 2022, based on publicly available data. Overall, we see a mix of increases and decreases in IMA Wealth's holdings from Q3 to Q4 2022, with several notable changes in specific stocks and ETFs. Below, we'll go through some of the most significant changes in the company's holdings.
Increases in Holdings
Several stocks and funds saw increases in IMA Wealth's holdings from Q3 to Q4 2022. One notable example is Bank of America Corporation (BAC), which saw no change in the number of shares held but a 9.7% increase in their value. This increase was likely due to the strong overall performance of Bank of America's stock in that quarter. Another notable increase was in shares of Onto Innovation Inc. (ONTO), which saw a 85.2% increase in shares held and a 85.7% increase in value. This could reflect increasing optimism about the semiconductor industry, in which Onto Innovation specializes.
Decreases in Holdings
On the other hand, several other stocks and funds saw decreases in IMA Wealth's holdings from Q3 to Q4 2022. One major example is Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN), which saw a 31.9% decline in value despite a relatively small decrease in the number of shares held. This is likely due to Amazon's somewhat lackluster Q3 earnings report, which disappointed investors and sent the stock downward. Another major decrease was seen in shares of the iShares Preferred and Income Securities ETF (PFF), which saw a 34.9% decrease in shares held and a 34.7% decrease in value. This could reflect a broader shift away from fixed-income investments and towards equities in the overall market.
Shifts within ETFs
Finally, it's worth noting that several of the changes in IMA Wealth's holdings reflect shifts within specific ETFs. For example, the Invesco Exchange Traded Fund Trust (BSCO) and Invesco Exchange Traded Fund Trust II (BSJN) saw opposite changes in terms of shares held and value, with BSCO seeing an increase in shares but a decrease in value and BSJN seeing the opposite. This could reflect changing investor sentiment around specific sectors or asset classes represented in those ETFs. Overall, it's clear that IMA Wealth, Inc.'s holdings underwent several notable changes from Q3 to Q4 2022. While it's impossible to say for certain what drove these changes, they do offer a window into the shifting landscape of the stock market and investor sentiment. By keeping close track of your own portfolio and staying up-to-date on publicly available data like 13F filings, you can stay better informed about these changes and their potential effects on your investments.
