Jimmy C. Chang, Chief Investment Officer at Rockefeller Global Family Office has said in a note that he is more positively disposed to U.S. Treasuries than equities. “The shorter-end of the yield curve offers more than 4% in yield to park dry powder, while the unusually high volatility in the Treasury market offers opportunities to accumulate longer-dated bonds. As recession becomes more apparent, I expect long#dated bond yields to come down materially,” he said.

Major Sale: The fund offloaded shares in Meta Platforms Inc META during the quarter, having sold over 460,000 shares of the tech giant, taking the valuation of its holding to over $136 million.

Apple Inc AAPL, Microsoft Corporation MSFT and SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust SPY are the top three holdings of the fund, according to Whale Wisdom.
