See Which Of The Latest 13F Filers Holds TSM

At Holdings Channel, we have reviewed the latest batch of the 27 most recent 13F filings for the 09/30/2024 reporting period, and noticed that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (Symbol: TSM) was held by 14 of these funds. When hedge fund managers appear to be thinking alike, we find it is a good idea to take a closer look.

Before we proceed, it is important to point out that 13F filings do not tell the whole story, because these funds are only required to disclose their long positions with the SEC, but are not required to disclose their short positions. A fund making a bearish bet against a stock by shorting calls, for example, might also be long some amount of stock as they trade around their overall bearish position. This long component could show up in a 13F filing and everyone might assume the fund is bullish, but this tells only part of the story because the bearish/short side of the position is not seen.

Having given that caveat, we believe that looking at groups of 13F filings can be revealing, especially when comparing one holding period to another. Below, let's take a look at the change in TSM positions, for this latest batch of 13F filers: FundNew Position?Change In Share CountChange In Market Value ($ in 1000's)WD Rutherford LLCExisting+4,710+$818Adell Harriman & Carpenter Inc.Existing+6,011+$1,043Avitas Wealth Management LLCExisting-205-$38Childress Capital Advisors LLCExistingUNCH$UNCHNicholas Hoffman & Company LLC.Existing+69+$12Lodestar Private Asset Management LLCExisting+130+$22Trinity Street Asset Management LLPExisting-27,200-$4,851Deltec Asset Management LLCExisting-14,400-$2,508Eagle Strategies LLCExisting-1,892-$331Vanguard Capital Wealth AdvisorsNEW+1,360+$236Fidelis Capital Partners LLCExisting-11-$3Valmark Advisers Inc.Existing-393-$69Bay Rivers GroupExisting+200+$34Aletheian Wealth Advisors LLCExistingUNCH-$1Aggregate Change:-31,621-$5,636

In terms of shares owned, we count 5 of the above funds having increased existing TSM positions from 06/30/2024 to 09/30/2024, with 6 having decreased their positions and 1 new position.

Looking beyond these particular funds in this one batch of most recent filers, we tallied up the TSM share count in the aggregate among all of the funds which held TSM at the 09/30/2024 reporting period (out of the 2,003 we looked at in total). We then compared that number to the sum total of TSM shares those same funds held back at the 06/30/2024 period, to see how the aggregate share count held by hedge funds has moved for TSM. We found that between these two periods, funds reduced their holdings by 1,986,795 shares in the aggregate, from 36,958,059 down to 34,971,264 for a share count decline of approximately -5.38%.
