Prominent Purchases in Technology

Technology remains a significant sector for ASRS, with two major purchases observed:

Expanding Presence in Consumer Cyclical

In the Consumer Cyclical sector, ASRS demonstrated continued interest through specific acquisitions:

• Booking Holdings Inc. (BKNG): The system significantly boosted its position in this travel services company.

While other Consumer Cyclical holdings like Amazon showed positive changes, the most pronounced activity was concentrated in BKNG:

• Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN): Also saw an increase during Q2.

Activity Across Other Sectors

The investor's activity was also noted in other sectors:

• Devon Energy Corp (DVN): A significant addition to the Energy sector portfolio.
• Carvana Co. (CVNA): An increase in position was observed within the Consumer Cyclical space.

Conversely, ASRS did not report any significant sell activities during this quarter:

• No Disclosed Sells: According to available data, there were no major exits from positions reported by the Arizona State Retirement System.

Overall Portfolio Dynamics

The portfolio's overall allocation shows Technology at approximately 34.4%, followed closely by Financial Services and Consumer Cyclical sectors each around 11.3% and 9.3% respectively.

This quarter, ASRS appears to have focused primarily on strategic buying in key growth areas like NVIDIA and KLA Corp, while also adding exposure to companies such as Booking Holdings. The lack of disclosed large sell activities suggests a continued accumulation phase or minimal divestment in the Technology and Consumer Cyclical sectors.
