The quant fund reallocated about $520 million into Micron—bringing that stake to $859 million—while its overall assets fell 14.9% to $64.5 billion.
1. Fund Restructuring and Asset Decline
In the quarter ending December 31, Renaissance Technologies’ total market value dropped from $75.8 billion to $64.5 billion, reflecting net outflows equal to 14.9% of assets. The firm sold down stakes in 1,680 positions and simultaneously added 466 new names as part of a broad portfolio rebalance.
2. Alphabet Holding Reduction
Among the trimmed positions was Alphabet, where Renaissance scaled back its stake alongside cuts in other AI-heavy names such as Nvidia. Alphabet was one of the fund’s top-tier holdings, making its reduction notable for investors tracking institutional sentiment.
