Nottingham Advisors Inc Portfolio Changes in Q3 2026

Nottingham Advisors Inc, a prominent investment firm, has recently disclosed its portfolio changes for the quarter ending September 30, 2026. The firm manages a substantial portfolio valued at approximately $817 million, reflecting its active management and strategic adjustments in the stock market.

During this period, the firm demonstrated a strong focus on buying, with several holdings showing significant increases. The most substantial purchase was in ISHARES TR (MBB), where the number of shares increased by 579,213, representing a staggering 278.5% growth. This ETF, which tracks the Market Basket Bond ETF, is a key component of the firm's strategy, and its allocation rose to 8.62% of the total portfolio. Another major addition was VANGUARD SCOTTSDALE FDS (VGLT), with a 84.09% increase in shares, adding significantly to the portfolio's exposure to financial services. Similarly, ISHARES TR (IJR) saw an 84.09% jump in shares, and JANUS DETROIT STR TR (IWD) experienced a substantial 44.99% increase, though IWD data is not explicitly listed in the holdings but mentioned in the significant buys list. Additionally, ISHARES TR (IAU) showed an 84.17% increase in shares, and ISHARES TR (IEFA) added 105,417 shares, a 14.43% increase, though the allocation percentage in the changed holdings slightly differs from the top holdings data.

Furthermore, the firm also increased its stake in SPDR SERIES TRUST (SPIB) by 272,395 shares (39.98%), and JPMORGAN EXCHANGE TRADED FUND (JEPI) by 109,122 shares (15.14%). The addition of these holdings suggests a continued diversification or strategic reinforcement in certain sectors, though specific sector data for these holdings is not provided in the filing. The portfolio now includes these new or increased positions, contributing to a total portfolio value of $816.96 million.

Nottingham Advisors Inc also bolstered its position in SPDR SERIES TRUST (SPLG) and SPDR SERIES TRUST (SPYG), though these are already present in the top holdings list. The firm added 56,354 shares to SPLG and 69,190 shares to SPYG, respectively, indicating confidence in these existing allocations. The firm also purchased shares of ISHARES INC (IEMG) and SPDR SERIES TRUST (SPSM), though the changes were relatively minor with only 467 and -50,273 shares respectively, the latter being a decrease but not significant enough to be highlighted as a major sale.

On the flip side, the firm notably added shares to ISHARES TR (HDV), a fund tracking the High Dividend Yield ETF, increasing its holdings by 91,542 shares (205.43%). This suggests a potential interest in dividend-focused strategies or sectors performing well in that category. The allocation for HDV is 0.47%, indicating it remains a smaller part of the portfolio despite the significant share increase.

While the exact sector allocations for many holdings remain undisclosed, the available data shows allocations in sectors like Technology, Financial Services, Basic Materials, Energy, and Healthcare. The portfolio includes holdings in Technology with a 0.56% allocation, Financial Services at 0.26%, Basic Materials at 0.13%, Energy at 0.12%, and Healthcare at 0.06%. The remaining 98.76% of the portfolio is invested in unspecified sectors, as per the filing. This lack of detailed sector information might be a point of interest for investors seeking deeper insight into the firm's sector-specific strategy.

Overall, the portfolio maintains a diversified approach with 117 holdings. The significant buying activity, particularly in MBB, VGLT, IJR, IWD, and IAU, indicates a strategic focus on growth and value-oriented funds during Q3 2026.
