Aureus Asset Management Q2 Portfolio Shifts: Tech Dominance & Strategic Energy Buys

Aureus Asset Management, Llc maintained a substantial portfolio worth approximately $1.64 billion (as of June 30, 2026). The fund's holdings demonstrate a clear focus on major technology companies like Alphabet Inc (GOOGL), Applied Materials Inc (AMAT), Apple Inc (AAPL), and Broadcom Inc (AVGO).

This quarter saw notable shifts in the portfolio. Significant buying activity was observed across several sectors, including Energy with Devon Energy Corp New (DVN) representing a brand new position at 0.24% allocation purchased entirely this period (DVN). Other significant additions included Vanguad Index Fds Inc (VO), Apollo Global Mgmt Inc (APO), Agilent Technologies Inc (A), and IDEX Corp New (IEX) which also saw a 100% increase in its position (IEX). These purchases suggest strategic decisions to diversify slightly while maintaining core holdings.

Conversely, the portfolio experienced substantial selling pressure. Boston Scientific Corp (BSX) saw a dramatic reduction of 91.15% in its position (BSX). Flowserve Corp (FLS), Wabtec Corp New (WAB), and Opus Genetics Inc (OCUP) also reported significant decreases, although their overall impact was less pronounced due to smaller allocations (WAB). The fund exited positions in stocks like OPUS GENETICS INC NEW (OCUP), WABTEC CORP NEW (WAB), and others, as listed under significant sell symbols.

The Technology sector remains the bedrock of Aureus' strategy. Major holdings include Apple Inc (AAPL) at 4.25% allocation with a slight increase (+1.11%), Alphabet Inc (GOOGL) at 5.45%, and Broadcom Inc (AVGO) at 3.58%. However, the portfolio also includes smaller Technology positions like Texas Instruments Inc New (TXN), which was added entirely this quarter (TXN). The fund's Technology allocation stands strong at 27.87% according to sector breakdowns.

Financial Services and Industrials are other key sectors in the portfolio, each accounting for roughly 10-15% of total assets (as per sector allocations). Holdings like Visa Inc (V) saw a decrease (-0.8%), while Apollo Global Mgmt Inc (APO) increased significantly (+15.97%). The fund also holds several Industrials including IDEX Corp New (IEX), WABTEC, and others (WCN). Energy allocation is smaller at 2.7%, but Devon Energy's new position signals interest in this sector.

Overall, Aureus Asset Management appears focused on its core Technology holdings while strategically adding exposure to Energy and other sectors through significant buys. The portfolio also reflects exits from certain positions like Boston Scientific Corp (BSX). For more detailed analysis of the fund's holdings, visit Aureus Asset Management, Llc.
