13F data shows that David Einhorn’s Greenlight Capital’s top 10 holdings contribute to nearly 71% of the total market value of holdings. This fund’s largest holding is Green Brick Partner Inc. This security is valued at $396M in the latest portfolio and represents 24.8% of Einhorn’s total holdings. 

Teck Resources was the largest addition of the fund this quarter and represents 5.85% of the portfolio, valued at $93M. The portfolio structure shows that Einhorn is currently inclined towards investing in capital goods, technology and financials.

The fund completely sold out its holdings in ADT Inc, FSRX and ALIT.

Seth Klarman’s Baupost Group’s top bought securities are SJR at $218M, FB at $537M and Micron Tech at $608M. The top 10 holdings contribute to ~68% of the fund's total market value. Baupost saw a reduction of 1.8% in its AUM since its last 13F filing. Klarman's portfolio currently shows a preference for technology and consumer services.

RADiENT data shows that the change in market value due to movement in price is nearly (220%), whereas the change in market value due to trading activity is +320.1%. Baupost increased its holding in Micron by 32% and Theravance Biopharma by 13.5%, and both securities fell by (14%) and (43%) respectively, in August.  Theravance has been losing ground ever since the phase 2 trial for an oral drug failed to meet its primary endpoint. 

Nearly 20% of the fund’s portfolio is allocated to LBTYK (Liberty Global PLC) valued at $1.4B, and Intel at $1.2B. Interestingly, Baupost has been trimming its holdings in Intel this quarter. The fund completely exited 6 securities – FOXA, FOX, PEAK, DBRG, JOBY and FNF.
