Ava Hoppe | 28 April, 2023
Nicholas Investment Partners, LP is a well-respected hedge fund with over three decades of experience in the investment world. Their Q3 and Q4 2022 13F Holdings Comparison reveals a lot about how their investment strategy is evolving. However, changes in holdings can be difficult to interpret, so we've analyzed the data to see what the future holds for investment.
RXDX, a pharmaceutical company, saw a significant decrease in the number of shares held by Nicholas Investment Partners between Q3 and Q4. In contrast, CYTK and ESTA, two healthcare companies, saw an increase in the number of shares held. This suggests that Nicholas Investment Partners is bullish on healthcare.
ITCI, a biotech company, also saw an increase in shares held, indicating that biotech stocks may also play a significant role in their investment strategy. KRYS, INSP, and ASND are other healthcare-related companies that Nicholas Investment Partners increased their holdings for, supporting this theory.
WSC, an industrial services company, saw a slight decrease in shares held, along with CHK, an oil and gas producer. XOM, however, saw an increase in shares held, suggesting that while oil and gas might not be a priority for Nicholas Investment Partners, they still think the sector has some potential.
Notably, several companies had zero shares held by Nicholas Investment Partners in Q3 but saw a significant increase in Q4. WING, a restaurant chain, saw an increase in shares held, suggesting the fund might be taking a chance on small and medium-sized businesses. Similarly, KDNY and HZNP, both healthcare-related, had zero shares in Q3, but significant shares in Q4.
What do these changes in holdings tell us about the future of investment? Healthcare is likely to be a significant part of any investment strategy, possibly alongside biotech and small and medium-sized businesses. Oil and gas might play a smaller role, but sectors like industrial services could still see some attention. Overall, Nicholas Investment Partners seems to be adapting quickly to changes in the market, making it a hedge fund worth keeping an eye on in the coming years.
