Analysis of recent 13F filings for the 06/30/2024 reporting period indicates that hedge funds significantly increased their aggregate holdings of Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) by 7,384,470 shares, a 4.04% rise, from 182.88 million to 190.26 million shares between March 31 and June 30, 2024. Despite the long-only disclosure nature of 13F data, this substantial aggregate increase across institutional portfolios suggests sustained interest in broad market exposure via VTI among sophisticated investors.
Institutional positioning in the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) saw a significant net increase during the second quarter of 2024, according to an analysis of 13F filings. Across 4,205 filers, aggregate holdings grew by 7,384,470 shares, a 4.04% increase from 182.88 million to 190.26 million shares for the period ending June 30, 2024. This broad-based accumulation points to a constructive institutional outlook on the total US equity market. While a smaller, more recent sample of 23 funds showed a net decrease of 41,165 shares—driven largely by a 40,445 share reduction from Charles Schwab Investment Management—this isolated data is superseded by the much larger aggregate trend. It is important to note the inherent limitations of 13F data, which is backward-looking and only discloses long positions, thus not capturing potential hedging or short-selling activities.
