The largest stock reduction in terms of weighting percentage was Apollo Education (NASDAQ:APOL), which we reduced by over 80%. The reason is that APOL appreciated nearly 25% and approached the buyout price the board and shareholders agreed to earlier in the year. The Department of Education finally approved the acquisition of APOL by a private equity group with just a couple of conditions.
