Jeremey Grantham’s 13F portfolio value increased marginally from $14.21B to $14.41B this quarter. The portfolio is diversified with recent 13F reports showing well over 500 different positions.

Note: In January 2018, Jeremey Grantham predicted the market to be in a melt-up (S&P 3400 to 3800 in short order). At the time, he thought emerging markets were a safe bet. As a secondary recommendation, EAFE equities were suggested. Consistent with that call, he increased the iShares MSCI Emerging Market ETF (EEM) allocation to a 3.11% portfolio stake thru Q3 2018. That quarter saw the position reduced by ~80% to a small 0.72% portfolio stake. The position was increased by ~80% in Q1 2019 and is now a 1.48% of the portfolio stake.
