Aggregated Portfolio of Gurus lists several broadly held retail stocks
GuruFocus’ Aggregated Portfolio allows users to view the most broadly held stocks across sectors, regions and market cap ranges.
Investors should be aware the Aggregated Portfolio of Gurus is based on the latest 13F equity portfolio filings. Additionally, 13F filings do not give a complete picture of a firm’s holdings as the reports only include its positions in U.S. stocks and American depository receipts, but they can still provide valuable information. Further, the reports only reflect trades and holdings as of the most-recent portfolio filing date, which may or may not be held by the reporting firm today or even when this article was published.
