The biggest single bets in institutional investing

Which funds have put an extraordinary share of everything they manage into one company?

What we found

The most concentrated bet in our entire dataset puts nearly half of one fund's disclosed equity into a single holding. Several household-name investors have a quarter or more of everything they manage riding on one company.

How we computed it
  • Each Q1 2026 position as a percentage of that fund's total reported 13F equity value.
  • Restricted to funds with over $5bn of 13F assets and positions over $500m, so this is genuine size and not a small fund with one holding.
What this CANNOT tell you
  • Some of these are structural rather than convictional. A holding company reporting its own stake, or a foundation holding a founder's donated shares, is not the same as a manager making an active bet.
  • 13F assets are not the fund's total assets. A manager with 40% of their EQUITY in one name may hold a great deal else that the filing never shows.
