Court Place Advisors, LLC is an investment advisory firm based in Charlottesville, Virginia. The firm was founded in 2010 and specializes in fixed-income and equity management for institutional and high-net-worth clients. In this blog post, we will be analyzing the changes in holdings of the firm's Q3 2022 vs. Q4 2022 13F filings. The data has been provided in the form of a CSV file.

Before we dive into the analysis, let's understand what a 13F filing is. A 13F filing is a quarterly report that institutional investment managers with at least $100 million in assets under management are required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The report provides a summary of the manager's investment holdings at the end of the quarter.

Now, let's take a look at the data. The CSV file contains 50 different stocks and ETFs that Court Place Advisors, LLC held at the end of Q3 2022 and Q4 2022. The data includes the issuer name, option type, number of shares held, value of shares held, and the percentage change in holdings from Q3 2022 to Q4 2022.

The top five holdings of Court Place Advisors, LLC in Q3 2022 were ADP (AUTOMATIC DATA PROCESSING), MSFT (MICROSOFT CORP), JKHY (JACK HENRY & ASSOC INC), URI (UNITED RENTALS INC), and BRK-B (BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY B). These five holdings accounted for 24.9% of the firm's portfolio in Q3 2022.

In Q4 2022, Court Place Advisors, LLC's top five holdings remained the same, but there were some changes in the number of shares held and the value of the shares. Interestingly, while the number of shares held for the top five holdings remained relatively stable, the value of the shares increased significantly. This could be due to the overall bullish trend in the markets during Q4 2022.

The percentage change in holdings ranged from a decrease of 22.5% for LGND (LIGAND PHARM INC) to an increase of 46% for CAT (CATERPILLAR INC). It's worth noting that the decrease in holdings for LGND was not significant, as the firm held the same number of shares in Q4 2022 as it did in Q3 2022.

In terms of sector allocation, the top three sectors represented in the portfolio were technology, healthcare, and financials. These three sectors accounted for 63.1% of the firm's holdings in Q3 2022 and 63.4% in Q4 2022. This is not surprising, as these sectors have been performing well in the market over the past few years.

It's also worth noting that Court Place Advisors, LLC's holdings include several ETFs, such as XLK (SPDR TECHNOLOGY ETF), MDY (S&P MIDCAP 400 ETF), and IVV (IShrs Core S&P 500). These ETFs provide the firm with exposure to a diverse range of stocks and sectors, which helps to mitigate risk.

In conclusion, Court Place Advisors, LLC's Q3 2022 vs. Q4 2022 13F filings show that the firm's top holdings remained relatively stable during the quarter, but there were some changes in the value of the shares held. The data also reveals that the firm has a diversified portfolio with exposure to different sectors and asset classes. As always, investors should conduct their due diligence before investing in any securities.
