Value Fund Boosts AI Holdings, Increases Google, Nvidia Stakes by 75.17%, 49.56%
In the second quarter, a prominent investor known for following the value investment philosophy of Warren Buffett made significant adjustments to its portfolio. The fund aggressively increased its holdings in GoogleGOOGL-- by 75.17%, adding 830,000 shares, and in NvidiaNVDA-- by 49.56%, adding 320,000 shares. These moves underscore the fund's strong belief in the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.
The fund's total portfolio value reached 115.3 billion dollars. As of June 30, the fund's investment portfolio was dominated by AppleAAPL--, with a market value of 72 billion dollars, accounting for over 62% of the total portfolio. Following Apple were Berkshire Hathaway, Pinduoduo, Occidental PetroleumOXY--, and Alibaba GroupBABA--.
One of the most notable changes was the reversal of the fund's previous trend of gradually reducing its holdings in Apple. In the second quarter, the fund bought back 894,000 shares of Apple, increasing its holdings by 2.61%. This move came at a time when market sentiment about the tech giant was mixed, signaling the fund's continued confidence in Apple's long-term value and solidifying Apple's dominant position in the portfolio.
In the AI sector, the fund made significant investments in Nvidia and Google. The fund added nearly 320,000 shares of Nvidia, increasing its holdings by 49.56%, which is a strong vote of confidence in the future prospects of the AI computing leader.

Following an increase in the first quarter, the fund added over 900,000 shares of Pinduoduo in the second quarter, increasing its holdings by 11.72%. This consistent increase made Pinduoduo the third-largest holding in the portfolio, reflecting the fund's high recognition of Pinduoduo's business model and growth potential.
The fund's investment strategy also showed some alignment with Warren Buffett's philosophy. In the second quarter, the fund made no changes to its second-largest holding, Berkshire Hathaway. However, the fund made minor adjustments to another "Buffett stock," Occidental Petroleum, reducing its holdings by 270,000 shares, or 1.95%.
