Chartist Inc Portfolio Shifts in Q2 2026: Focus on Growth ETFs

As of June 30, 2026, Chartist Inc's portfolio has undergone several adjustments during the second quarter. The investment firm managed a total portfolio value of $84 million this period.

Significant Purchases This Quarter

Chartist Inc demonstrated strong interest in growth-oriented investments by substantially increasing its position in two Vanguard exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

• The firm quintupled its stake in the Vanguard Growth ETF (VUG), acquiring an additional 2,485 shares. This significant purchase can be explored further at this link.
• Furthermore, Chartist Inc purchased a considerable amount of the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI), adding exactly 548 shares. This represents an unprecedented increase for this holding at Vanguard's website.

These additions suggest a strategic tilt towards broader market growth exposure within Chartist Inc's investment strategy.

Major Reduction in Holdings

The most significant change this quarter involved the reduction of an existing major position.

• Chartist Inc sold shares of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SHW), reducing its stake by nearly 0.93% in dollar value and slightly decreasing its share count. This adjustment can be viewed on SHW's page at this link.

This reduction, while not drastically altering the overall allocation percentage for Basic Materials (38.96%), indicates a deliberate shift away from this sector or a rebalancing effort.

Other Portfolio Changes and Stable Holdings

Besides these major shifts, several other holdings experienced changes in their share count:

• The iShares Russell ETF (IWB) saw its shares decrease by a small margin (-0.93%), impacting its portfolio percentage allocation slightly.
• Several individual stocks held previously also showed reductions: Amazon.com Inc (AMZN), T J X Cos Inc (TJX), Allstate Corporation (ALL), Home Depot Inc (HD).

In contrast, some holdings remained unchanged from the previous quarter:

• New Jersey Resources Corp (NJR) and Public Service Enterprise Group Inc (PEG) maintained their current share counts.
• The iShares Global Tech ETF (IXN) also saw no change in its position this quarter.

• Basic Materials: Remains the largest sector allocation at approximately $62 million, representing nearly 74% of the portfolio value.
• Unknown Sector Holdings: A significant portion ($18.17M or ~21.59%) consists of holdings with unknown sectors, which is a common aspect of many portfolios and can be seen in detail at Chartist Inc's profile.
• Consumer Cyclical: Includes several stable holdings like TJX, HD, AMZN totaling $1.85M or ~2.2%.
• Utilities: Holds two companies (PEG and NJR) with a combined value of around $0.9M or ~1.07%.
