<p>The latest 13F filing shows that Soros Fund Management, under &#34;financial giant&#34; George Soros, made significant investments in large tech stocks in the fourth quarter of last year, increasing its positions in Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Apple despite market volatility, while also boosting defensive assets by establishing new positions in gold stocks.</p>
<h2>Simultaneously Increased Holdings of 66,000 Shares of Apple</h2>
<p>It is reported that Soros Fund purchased approximately 161,000 shares of Microsoft common stock and about 118,000 shares of NVIDIA last quarter, while also simultaneously increasing its holdings of approximately 66,000 shares of Apple, indicating that even with market doubts about AI investment returns, Soros still prefers to concentrate funds on core assets with high moats.</p>
<p>Soros is also optimistic about software stocks, adding approximately 216,000 shares of software developer Atlassian, about 55,000 shares of cloud software provider Salesforce, and around 119,000 shares of ride-hailing platform Uber, demonstrating recognition of the long-term value of digital transformation and software as a service (SaaS).</p>
<h2>Significantly Reduced Holdings in Snowflake</h2>
<p>Last quarter, Soros also reduced some holdings, showing caution towards overvalued and highly volatile assets, including a significant reduction of about 168,000 shares in data giant Snowflake and approximately 151,000 shares in Circle Internet Group. Notably, Soros Fund completely exited positions in financial institution KeyCorp, REIT CareTrust REIT, cryptocurrency mining stock Cipher Mining, and private equity giant KKR &amp; Co.</p>
<p>Analysts point out that the exit from cryptocurrency mining stocks and traditional banks indicates that the company is moving away from sensitive industries that are more affected by interest rate fluctuations.</p>
<h2>Established Positions in DigitalBridge and Other Stocks</h2>
<p>Additionally, Soros Fund opened a hedge line last quarter by purchasing assets from gold mining company New Gold. Soros also simultaneously established positions in infrastructure investment company DigitalBridge, asset management company Blue Owl Capital, cancer detection company Exact Sciences, and energy company Xcel Energy.</p>
<p>Analysts note that Soros' strategy in the fourth quarter is clear: to lock in the core value of AI through Microsoft and NVIDIA, avoid more volatile cloud data stocks like Snowflake, and mitigate geopolitical and overall economic uncertainties through gold and utility stocks</p>
