**Understanding 13F Filings**
Before we proceed, it is essential to note that 13F filings provide limited information as these funds are only required to disclose their long positions with the SEC. Their short positions are not disclosed. This means that a fund could hold both a bullish long position and a bearish short position. Therefore, analyzing 13F filings gives only partial insights into a fund’s overall position.
**Comparing 13F Filings**
Despite the limitations of 13F filings, studying groups of filings can provide valuable information, especially when comparing results from different reporting periods. Let’s examine the changes in KMB positions among the latest batch of 13F filers.
**Increase and Decrease in KMB Positions**
Among the funds analyzed, three of them increased their existing KMB positions from March 31, 2023, to June 30, 2023. On the other hand, seven funds decreased their positions during the same period.
**Aggregate Holdings of Hedge Funds**
To gain a more comprehensive understanding, we expanded our analysis beyond the selected funds to capture the aggregate KMB share count for all the funds that held KMB during the June 30, 2023 reporting period. Out of the 3,040 funds included in our analysis, we compared their share count to the total held during the previous reporting period ending on March 31, 2023.
