However, the fund increased its holdings in JPM by 18.2%, indicating continued confidence in the company's performance.

The fund's holdings in Apple Inc (AAPL) saw a significant decrease of 13.2% in Q1 2021, primarily due to the recent market correction in the technology sector. The drop in AAPL's value contributed significantly to the decline in the fund's overall value.
