Venturi Wealth Management Increases Portfolio Exposure with Major ETF Purchases

As of June 30, 2026, Venturi Wealth Management, a prominent investment firm, has shown significant buying activity in its portfolio. The total portfolio value stands at approximately $2.56 billion.

Major Purchases This Quarter

Venturi significantly increased its allocation to US large-cap growth stocks and international equities through substantial purchases of exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

• The firm added a considerable number of shares in the iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF (IWF), increasing its allocation from previous levels.
• A massive purchase occurred with the SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF (SPLG). Venturi bought shares equivalent to its entire previous position, bringing SPLG's portfolio allocation percentage up by a full point.
• The firm also significantly increased exposure to emerging market equities via the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (IEMG), acquiring shares that represented a substantial portion of its previous holdings in this fund.
• In addition, Venturi made notable additions to small-cap US equities through the iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF (IJR), acquiring a significant number of shares that pushed its allocation up.
• A particularly noteworthy purchase was the new position in KLAC, Kla Corporation. This tech stock saw an enormous increase, with Venturi buying nearly all previous holdings plus a substantial amount, boosting its allocation by almost two-thirds.

Significant Reductions and Exits

Concurrently, Venturi sold off positions in several ETFs that previously formed part of its portfolio. The most notable reductions occurred within fixed income sectors.

• The firm completely exited the position held in the Vanguard Intermediate-Term Corporate Bond ETF (VCIT), removing shares that had been a part of its holdings entirely.
• Venturi also sold out its position in the WisdomTree Floating Rate Treasury ETF (USFR).
• Furthermore, it shed all shares held in the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) and a large portion of its holdings in the iShares Core S&P U.S. Value ETF (IUSV).
• The firm also sold out its position in the iShares Core S&P U.S. High-Yield ETF (USHY) and reduced holdings significantly in the iShares JP Morgan Emerging Market Bond ETF (EMB).
• The Vanguard Short-Term Treasury ETF (VGST) also saw its position completely removed from the portfolio.

Balanced Approach with Focus on US Equities

Despite these changes, Venturi maintained a substantial allocation to US equities overall. The top holdings list still features several large US ETFs and stocks, although some have been reduced or exited.

• The largest holding remains the Vanguard Total International Bond ETF (BNDX), though its position was drastically cut this quarter.
• iShares Core S&P Small-Cap Index Fund (IJR) is another major holding, with a significant increase in shares purchased.
• The firm also holds substantial positions in large-cap US growth ETFs like IWF and the Capital Group International Equity (CGIE), alongside individual tech stocks such as Apple (AAPL) and Nvidia (NVDA).
• Micron Technology (MU) also saw a notable increase in its allocation.

Diversification Across Sectors

Venturi's portfolio includes allocations across various sectors, although the exact breakdown for all stocks is not fully detailed. The disclosed sector allocations show diversification into areas like Technology and Financial Services.

• Technology represents a significant portion of the portfolio ($518 million), including holdings in AAPL, NVDA, MU, and KLAC.
• The firm has exposure to Communication Services via GOOGL.
• International equities are covered through IEFA and BNDX (partially).
• Financial Services includes CGIE.

Ongoing Activity and Strategy Shift

The data indicates that Venturi has been actively managing its portfolio throughout the quarter, with a clear strategy shift involving increased exposure to certain US equity segments while reducing reliance on specific fixed income vehicles. This pattern of buying and selling ETFs suggests ongoing adjustments based on market outlook.
