How these are calculated
- Portfolio value: the market value of all long positions in the 13F, as reported at quarter end, excluding options.
- Top 10 concentration: the combined value of the 10 largest positions as a share of portfolio value.
- Turnover: the smaller of this quarter's estimated purchases and estimated sales, divided by the average of this and last quarter's portfolio value. Estimates multiply the change in shares by the quarter-end price implied by the filing (market value divided by shares); new positions use this quarter's value and sold-out positions last quarter's. Only positions reported in shares count, and it is not calculated when the previous quarter was not filed.
- Average holding period: how many consecutive quarters each current position has been held (including this one; a quarter without the position or without a filing starts the count over), weighted by this quarter's value. Counting starts with the first 13F in Livermore (Q4 2023), so positions held before then are understated.
13F filings by quarter
