Common questions about Cliff Asness

What stocks does Cliff Asness own?

Cliff Asness reported 3338 equity positions worth $278.9B in the latest 13F filed August 14, 2026. The largest by value are NVDA, AAPL, MU, MSFT, AMZN, AVGO, GOOGL and GOOGL. The full ranked list is on this page.

What is Cliff Asness's biggest holding?

NVDA is the largest reported position at $7.5B, about 2.7% of the reported book, held as 37,823,393 shares.

What did Cliff Asness buy recently?

Cliff Asness opened no brand new positions last quarter, but added to 15 existing holdings, including AMZN, ABNB, VERISIGN INC, TSLA and BRK-B.

What did Cliff Asness sell recently?

Cliff Asness reduced 2 reported positions last quarter, the largest of them being ANET and SNDK. Note that a position exited completely stops appearing in the 13F entirely, so full exits show up as a name disappearing rather than as a sale.

Is Cliff Asness buying or selling right now?

Across the reported book, Cliff Asness added to 15 positions and trimmed 2, which makes the latest quarter a net buying one. "Right now" is the important caveat: a 13F is a snapshot as of the quarter end, filed up to 45 days later, so it shows what was held then, not what is held today.

What fund does Cliff Asness run?

The filings on this page come from AQR Capital Management, SEC CIK 1167557. That is the entity that files the 13F, which is why holdings are reported under the firm name rather than the person's name.

Is this Cliff Asness's current portfolio?

No. It is the most recent one that has been publicly filed. Institutional managers report holdings quarterly on Form 13F, as of the last day of the quarter, with up to 45 days to file. This page reflects the filing dated August 14, 2026 and updates automatically when the next one hits SEC EDGAR.

Does this show Cliff Asness's short positions or options?

Mostly no. A 13F covers reported long U.S. exchange-traded equity positions and some equity options and convertibles. Short positions are not disclosed, and neither are bonds, cash, commodities, currencies, or foreign-listed holdings. A manager with a large short book or heavy non-equity exposure can look very different in a 13F than in reality.

How do I track Cliff Asness's next moves?

This page rebuilds straight from SEC EDGAR, so the next 13F appears here as soon as it is filed. New stakes disclosed between quarters on Schedule 13D and 13G show up on the Smart Money page ahead of the next 13F, because those filings are due within days of crossing a 5% ownership threshold rather than at quarter end.
