Mason & Associates Portfolio Changes: Key Buys & Sales in Q2 2026

As reported for the period ending June 30, 2026, Mason & Associates, Llc, a prominent investment firm, managed its portfolio with notable shifts. The total value remained substantial at $480,573,022.

Major Purchases and Increased Holdings

Mason significantly bolstered its exposure to Vanguard Index Funds during Q2 2026. VV, already a cornerstone holding, saw an increase in shares by just over 5,792 units (1.35%) and maintained its hefty portfolio allocation of approximately 31.12%. This slight uptick suggests continued confidence but on a smaller scale than other activities.

Concurrently, the firm substantially increased its position in iShares ETF (IUSB). Mason added nearly 49,000 shares (1.68%) to this holding, which now constitutes about 28.29% of the portfolio.

Another significant addition was PIMCO ETF TR (PYLD), where Mason & Associates increased their stake by over 39,000 shares (3.99%) during the quarter.

Furthermore, the firm demonstrated strong interest in Vanguard's VO fund, adding a substantial number of shares – specifically 242,561 units – resulting in an almost 310% increase in its position for that specific stock symbol (VO). This was one of the most pronounced share increases during Q2.

Additionally, Mason & Associates invested significantly in Vanguard ETFs' VUG, adding 8,592 shares. The change percentage for this specific stock was unusually high at 597.97%, indicating a very substantial purchase relative to the previous quarter's holdings.

They also showed interest in Vanguard World Fund (MGK), adding just over 4,000 shares during Q2. This was a new position for Mason & Associates, contributing about 0.08% to the portfolio.

Moreover, the firm invested in Dimensional ETFs' DFSV and DFAI, acquiring these entirely new positions with full percentage allocation disclosure (DFSV: 0.04%, DFAI: 0.04%). Mason also purchased shares of iShares Core Small-Cap ETF (IWM), adding a position that is now part of their holdings, contributing about 0.04%.

No Disclosed Sells or Reduces

Notably, the data indicates no large-scale selling activities by Mason & Associates during Q2 2026. While they did exit some positions entirely – such as DIMENSIONAL ETF TRUST (DFSV), DFAI, and MINO – these exits resulted in very small allocations (<0.15%) being removed from the portfolio, or were entirely new positions replacing exited ones.

The firm also maintained its existing holdings like Vanguard ETFs' VTEB (maintained 0.9% allocation) and PIMCO ETF TR (MINO) (maintained 0.52% allocation), showing stability in these areas.

Sector Focus Remains

Mason & Associates' portfolio continues to be heavily concentrated, with the vast majority of assets ($473 million or 98.47%) held across 'Unknown' sectors according to their latest filing. This allocation remains unchanged from prior disclosures.

Outside this large unknown category, Mason maintains relatively small but disclosed positions in specific sectors: Technology (~$2.4 million), Utilities (~$2.4 million), Financial Services (~$1.06 million), and Consumer Cyclical (~$0.45 million). These allocations represent approximately 0.5% combined for the four known sectors.

The firm holds a total of 45 different holdings, with the top five positions accounting for roughly 75.93% of the portfolio value (a key indicator suggesting high concentration), further emphasizing their reliance on large-cap and established ETFs like VV, IUSB, PYLD, VO, and AVDE.
