ClearBridge Appreciation Strategy Adds Mastercard, Exits Disney in Q3
The ClearBridge Appreciation Strategy adjusted its holdings during the third quarter, opening new positions in several major companies while completely liquidating others. Among the newly added stocks are Mastercard Incorporated (NYSE:MA), Novartis (NYSE:NVS), Colgate-Palmolive Company (NYSE:CL), and ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE:NOW). The fund also expanded its existing stake in Diamondback Energy (NASDAQ:FANG), while exiting positions in Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO) and Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS).
The quarterly moves came as the fund outperformed its benchmark S&P 500 index. Absolute gains were driven by positive performance in five of the 11 sectors represented in the portfolio. Information technology and financials provided the strongest gains, helping offset weakness in industrials and materials, which served as the quarter's primary drag.
Market participants monitoring institutional shifts can track how the strategy's new additions perform in upcoming quarters. Other newly established positions during the period include United Rentals, Inc. (NYSE:URI), XPO, Inc. (NYSE:XPO), Howmet Aerospace Inc. (NYSE:HWM), CVS Health (NYSE:CVS), and Cheniere Energy (NYSE:LNG).
