The investment world is ever-changing, and keeping up with it can be a challenge. A 13F filing is a report that money managers with over $100 million in qualifying assets must file quarterly with the SEC. The filing tells us about the holdings changes of fund managers, and how they are positioning themselves in the market.

In this article, we'll take a look at the Independent Advisor Alliance's Q3 2022 vs. Q4 2022 13F holdings comparison. The data we'll examine includes issuers VANGUARD INDEX FDS, VANGUARD MUN BD FDS, VANGUARD STAR FDS, VANGUARD INDEX FDS, VANGUARD INTL EQUITY INDEX F, FIRST TR EXCHANGE-TRADED FD, amongst others.

This increase in shares could signify a move towards greater exposure to international markets.
