MW Soros fund leans into Big Tech and AI plays - but parts ways with this banking giant

By Bill Peters

Soros Fund Management added to positions in Alphabet and Amazon during the fourth quarter

Soros Fund Management, the fund founded by billionaire investor George Soros, boosted its positions in tech plays in the fourth quarter, while selling off all of its shares in JPMorgan Chase & Co.

The investment firm acquired 813,491 shares of Google parent Alphabet Inc. $(GOOGL)$ $(GOOG)$ during the quarter, bringing its total stake to more than 1.3 million shares, it said in a regulatory filing. It also bumped higher its stakes in Amazon.com Inc. $(AMZN)$ and Uber Technologies Inc. $(UBER)$, and took a fresh position in Microsoft Corp. $(MSFT)$

And even as jet maker Boeing Co. $(BA)$ struggles, Soros Fund Management added a little to its stake in the company. It also bought more of sportswear giant Nike Inc. $(NKE)$, another company trying to turn itself around, and took new stakes in Alaska Air Group Inc. $(ALK)$, FedEx Corp. $(FDX)$ and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. $(TSM)$ (TW:2330)

Along with JPMorgan $(JPM)$, the firm sold off stakes in Oracle Corp. $(ORCL)$, Peloton Interactive Inc. $(PTON)$ and 3M Co. $(MMM.AU)$
