As of June 30th, 2026, Watershed Private Wealth Llc, a sophisticated investment manager, demonstrated notable shifts in its portfolio strategy. The firm's holdings analysis reveals focused buying and selling activities across various exchange-traded funds (ETFs), impacting the allocation of capital towards specific sectors.

Major Purchases This Quarter

The most significant buying activity by Watershed this quarter involved several core ETFs, indicating a continued focus on broad market exposure and tactical adjustments. The firm notably increased its position in VUG (Vanguard Information Technology ETF) by 149,927 shares, representing an astronomical 458% increase from the previous period and adding approximately $15.7 million to its portfolio.

Similarly, IVV (iShares Core S&P Total U.S. Market ETF), a cornerstone holding, saw an increase of 14,817 shares (+19.52%) and its portfolio allocation rose to 19.13%. AGG (iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF) also experienced substantial growth with a +23,180 share increase (+23.18%) and its allocation climbed to 5.67%. Another large-cap bond fund, DYNF (BlackRock US Treasury Index ETF), was added or significantly increased with a +42,079 share jump (+23.33%) and an allocation of 4.26%. Finally, EFG (iShares U.S. Factor ETF) saw a +15,698 share increase (+20.25%) and now holds an allocation of 3.27%.

Significant Reductions and Divestments

In contrast to the large inflows into certain ETFs, Watershed also significantly reduced its holdings in others this quarter. The largest reduction was observed in QUAL (iShares Core Quality Factor ETF), where shares decreased by 30,468 (-69.35%) and its portfolio allocation dropped to a mere 0.83%. This suggests either a complete exit or near-complete unwinding of this position.

Other notable decreases include VTV (Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury ETF), which lost 17,193 shares (-23.08%) and its allocation fell to 3.52%. Similarly, SCHX (Schwab U.S. Small Cap ETF) saw a reduction of 11,697 shares (-36.82%) and its allocation is now just 0.17%. Additionally, SPMO (Invesco S&P Small Cap 60/40 ETF) experienced a decrease of 17,579 shares (-35.56%) and its allocation dropped to 1.45%. Lastly, IWF (iShares Core Small-Cap ETF) saw a substantial reduction of 10,844 shares (-296.85%) and its allocation fell to 0.51%.

New Positions Added

The quarter also marked the addition of new positions or significantly increased allocations for previously minor holdings. Watershed introduced a position in VO (Vanguard FTSE Social Index ETF), acquiring 14,769 shares (+277.04%) and allocating just $0.15 million or 0.46% of its assets to this fund.

Overall Portfolio Insights

The changes observed in Watershed's portfolio suggest a dynamic approach focused on specific factors within the ETF space, particularly favoring technology exposure through VUG and broad market/bond holdings via IVV, AGG, DYNF. The reduction from other sectors like Communication Services (down to 3.45%) and Consumer Cyclical (down to 2.20%), coupled with the exit from QUAL, points towards a strategic rebalancing.
