Jeffrey Ubben - ValueAct Holdings Investment Strategy & Portfolio Analysis
How ValueAct Holdings allocates capital, manages risk, and constructs its portfolio — based on SEC 13F filings.
According to the SEC 13F filed on Aug 14, 2026, Jeffrey Ubben's ValueAct Holdings portfolio reflects a concentrated approach across 15 reported 13F positions as of quarter-end Jun 30, 2026. Portfolio returns are primarily driven by a small set of mega-cap compounders, with the top five holdings accounting for approximately 61% of total exposure and Visa alone contributing ~15%. While the portfolio includes 15 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 unknown. 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, Economically Concentrated.
