Aperimus Capital, LLC Q1 2021 vs. Q2 2021 13F Holdings: Which Stocks Did They Buy and Sell?

Aperimus Capital, LLC is one of the leading hedge funds in the United States, managing over $2 billion in assets. The company recently released its Q1 2021 vs. Q2 2021 13F holdings comparison, revealing which stocks they bought and sold during the second quarter of 2021. In this article, we'll take a closer look at some of the stocks in Aperimus Capital's portfolio and discuss the reasons behind their investment decisions.

One of the most significant changes in Aperimus Capital's portfolio was their investment in the "SPDR S&P 500 ETF TR," which increased by 29.9% from Q1 2021 to Q2 2021. The fund purchased over 8,500 additional shares of the popular ETF, bringing their total holdings to nearly 51,000 shares. The value of their holdings also increased significantly, from $16.8 million in Q1 to $21.8 million in Q2.

Another notable investment by Aperimus Capital was their purchase of 27,300 shares of SunPower Corp (SPWR) during Q2 2021. This was the first time the fund invested in SunPower Corp, indicating a bullish outlook for the solar technology company. SunPower Corp has been ranked as one of the top solar companies in the United States, with an impressive portfolio of residential, commercial, and utility-scale projects.

However, not all of Aperimus Capital's investments were successful during Q2 2021. The fund significantly reduced its holdings in iShares TR (IWM), selling over 24,000 shares of the small-cap ETF. This was a sizable reduction of over 63% compared to their Q1 holdings, suggesting that Aperimus Capital has a more bearish outlook on small-cap stocks in the current economic climate.

The fund also sold out of its position in Beyond Meat Inc (BYND), selling its entire stake of 5,000 shares. Beyond Meat has been one of the fastest-growing companies in the food industry, but its share price has been volatile in recent months. Aperimus Capital's decision to sell its entire stake suggests that they may have lost confidence in Beyond Meat's long-term prospects.

In summary, Aperimus Capital's Q1 2021 vs. Q2 2021 13F holdings comparison shows that the hedge fund is making strategic investments in both well-established and emerging companies. While they have chosen to reduce their holdings in some sectors, they also continue to invest in ETFs and individual stocks that they believe will deliver long-term growth. As always, investors should conduct their own research and analysis before making any investment decisions.
