The long awaited Q3 portfolio of Fairholme Fund is out. Apparently Bruce Berkowitz was under pressure for redemptions. He has sold most of his non-core positions. He sold financials like Goldman Sachs (GS, Financial) and Morgan Stanley (MS, Financial). But he did buy into a new position – again financial – Jefferies (JEF, Financial). These are some observations:
1. As of Aug. 31, Fairholme has about $10.9 billion under management. Due to the market decline in September, and probably further redemptions, the fund shrank to $8.9 billion in September.
2. Bought into Jefferies. This is the top holding of Leucadia. Bruce Berkowitz had learned ideas from Leucadia before. This is probably one of those ideas again.
3. Added to Bank of America (BAC, Financial).
4. Invest heavily into Chinese insurance companies Including China Pacific Insurance and AIA Group. The two makes up of 15% of the fund.
5. As of 08/31/2011, Fairholme Fund owns 22 positions with a total value of $10 billion.
