The 4Q 2017 eVestment Stock Ownership Report looks at institutional investor stock ownership trends based on data provided to eVestment by institutional asset managers working on behalf of those investors. The data is updated quarterly and the report looks at the overall top 20 institutional investor stock holdings and at holdings across several categories of stocks and geographies, including U.S. large cap value, U.S. mid cap core, all UK equity, all Japan equity and all emerging markets equity.

Other interesting points from the 4Q 2017 Institutional Stock Ownership Report include:

  • Adobe Systems made the top 10 largest holdings for U.S. large cap growth managers in Q4 2017, with Celgene dropping from 7th to 14th.

  • Vodafone entered the top 10 most held companies for U.K. equity managers in Q4 2017 displacing Unilever, which has had its own challenges during 2017.
