Among the most significant moves, NYSRTS increased its stake in several companies. The fund notably purchased a substantial number of shares in CRWD (CrowdStrike Holdings Inc.), APH (Amphenol Corp.), and MNST (Monster Beverage Corp.).

While NVDA and AAPL experienced slight decreases in their share count, the portfolio's Technology allocation remains strong at 39.0% (as per the sector allocation data). The significant increase in holdings of CRWD, APH, and MST suggests a continued focus or increased interest in technology-related companies, particularly in cybersecurity and hardware.

In the Healthcare sector, the fund maintained its position in PFE (Pfizer Inc.)" despite a decrease in share count, keeping the sector allocation steady at 9.4%. The Real Estate sector also saw a small but notable increase with the full acquisition of AGNC, adding to its 2.13% allocation, and a partial increase in EQR (VivusMark Residential)" holdings.

Other sectors experienced minor changes or no significant activity reported. The Communication Services sector, which includes holdings like T (AT&T Inc.) and META (Meta Platforms Inc.), saw a decrease in portfolio percentage allocation for some names but maintained overall presence. Consumer Cyclical holdings like AMZN (Amazon.com Inc.)" and MSFT (Microsoft Corp.) also showed slight reductions in their portfolio percentages, though they remain significant positions.
