According to regulatory filings, Viking Global changed out a number of positions worth hundreds of millions of dollars during a busy fourth quarter for the hedge fund.
The company Viking, led by Andreas Halvorsen, disclosed a number of noteworthy new holdings, including a $480 million interest in CSX. Fortinet, Li Auto, and Seagate Technologies are three further significant additions to the portfolio.
During the quarter, Viking Global also sold off a number of significant positions, including T-Mobile stakes and Salesforce, which had respective market values of $446 million and $345 million at the conclusion of the third quarter. At the end of June 2022, T-Mobile was the fund's top equity holding.
Parker Hannifin, Take-Two Interactive, and Western Digital are three further significant companies whose positions were canceled out.
The disclosures from Trade Algo show that Viking reduced the number of its top holdings while increasing its shares in UnitedHealth Group and Amazon.
Due to the fact that Halvorsen assisted Julian Robertson at Tiger Management, Viking is one of the so-called Tiger Cubs. According to information on Viking's website, the company managed more than $37 billion in the capital as of the end of December. This is a decrease from roughly $47 billion a year ago.
The most recent security filings for Viking solely indicate the company's long equity positions; they do not include any potential hedges, fixed-income holdings, option positions, or short positions. Additionally, the disclosures do not specify when or how much the portfolio modifications cost.
At the conclusion of the quarter, Viking Global's listed equity holdings amounted to nearly $20 billion.
