Major Purchases This Quarter

Pecaut & Co. made several significant purchases during Q3 2026, most notably adding substantial positions to three Vanguard exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The firm bought a large number of shares in VUG, which focuses on growth stocks within the consumer discretionary sector. Similarly, they increased their stake significantly in both VO and IWF. These three ETFs alone accounted for a substantial portion of the firm's buying activity this quarter.

In addition to these large buys, Pecaut & Co. also increased its holdings in several other funds and ETFs that were already part of their portfolio. They added shares to SPYV, the SPDR Series Trust (formerly known as SSO), which provides exposure to the stock price of the S&P 500. The firm also boosted its position in BILS and slightly increased holdings in SPDW. Furthermore, they added shares to the Vanguard Specialized Fund (Vanguard Growth Funds ETF) represented by symbol VIG, and increased their stake in SPDR Series Trust (BILS), which is similar to BIL but slightly different.

Notable Reductions and Exits

Conversely, Pecaut & Co. reduced its positions in several holdings during the quarter. One of the most significant reductions was a decrease in shares held for EMXC, which focuses on emerging markets companies and experienced a 1.04% reduction in its portfolio allocation.

The firm also sold all of its holdings in JPMorgan Exchange-Traded Fund (ETP) symbol JMST, effectively exiting this position. Additionally, they decreased their stake in the Vanguard fund represented by VO slightly.

While other changes occurred across various sectors including Communication Services (GOOG) and Consumer Cyclical (AN), the overall portfolio allocation shows that Pecaut & Co. holds 61 different positions, with their largest holdings concentrated in Financial Services (including BRK-B) and ETFs tracking broad market indices.
