Jeffrey Ubben - ValueAct Holdings Investment Strategy & Portfolio Analysis

How ValueAct Holdings allocates capital, manages risk, and constructs its portfolio — based on SEC 13F filings.

As of Mar 31, 2026, Jeffrey Ubben's ValueAct Holdings portfolio reflects a concentrated approach across 16 reported 13F positions. Portfolio returns are primarily driven by a small set of mega-cap compounders, with the top five holdings accounting for approximately 56% of total exposure and Visa alone contributing ~13%. While the portfolio includes 16 positions, economic outcomes are highly concentrated in a narrow set of large-cap technology and growth-oriented names, indicating a meaningful divergence between structural diversification and return concentration. Exposure to high-growth and technology-oriented segments is elevated relative to peers, with performance anchored in growth-oriented names across financials, technology, and communication services. The portfolio exhibits low turnover, consistent with a buy-and-hold posture held through multiple reporting cycles. Distinctive traits include Long-Term Holder, Moderately Concentrated, Structurally Diversified.
