As financial markets sway like a boat on choppy waters, hedge fund managers make their moves, each seemingly attempting to outmaneuver the other. Within this intricate dance of finance, Ford Motor Co. (Symbol: F) has not been left untouched. A recent examination of 13F filings reveals that amidst a cohort of 53 funds for the reporting period ending on 03/31/2024, 18 held positions in the automaker. When such a confluence of financial minds occurs, it beckons our inquiry.
While 13F filings shed light on a fund’s long positions with the SEC, they shroud their short plays, leaving observers to ponder the unseen facets of their strategies. A fund could craftily mask a bearish stance on a stock amidst an outwardly bullish façade, making it clear that disclosures only illuminate a portion of the financial puzzle.
Viewing groups of 13F filings over different holding periods can unravel fascinating narratives. Let’s delve into the change in F positions among the latest filers:
| Fund | New Position? | Change In Share Count | Change In Market Value ($ in 1000’s) |
|---|---|---|---|
| InterOcean Capital Group LLC | Existing | +99,111 | +$1,366 |
| Aggregate Change: | –21,393,806 | –$250,935 | |
Among the aforementioned funds, 9 bolstered their existing F positions, while 7 reduced their stakes, and 2 initiated new positions during the shift from 12/31/2023 to 03/31/2024.
Zooming out from this microcosm, we widened our scope to encompass all funds holding F during the 03/31/2024 period, amongst the 4,272 scrutinized. Comparing this figure against their holdings from the previous quarter ending 12/31/2023, we unearthed that funds collectively added 43,250,838 shares, marking a 3.99% uptick. The top three funds dominating F holdings on 03/31/2024 stood tall amidst the crowd.
As we continue monitoring hedge fund activity via the latest 13F filings, tantalizing tales await discovery within the tapestry of financial maneuvers. While individual filings may paint an incomplete picture, aggregating insights across cohorts of funds can yield deeper, more substantial revelations, presenting fertile ground for further exploration, just like the case of Ford Motor Co.
