The lonely bets: big positions nobody else holds

Which billion-dollar positions are held by exactly one fund in our set?

What we found

Crowding is the norm: the popular names are held by dozens of funds at once. The interesting exception is the manager with a billion dollars in something no other fund in our set touches, which is either genuine independent thinking or a very lonely mistake.

Live from our database. 1 rows shown.

How we computed it
  • Positions over $1bn held by exactly one of our 105 funds in Q1 2026.
What this CANNOT tell you
  • 'Nobody else holds it' means nobody else in OUR 105 funds. The wider market may own it enthusiastically. This is a statement about our sample, not about the world.
  • Some of these are structural: a holding company reporting a stake in itself is not a contrarian bet, it is an accounting fact.
