A $114 billion asset manager is betting a significant portion of its capital on two under-the-radar stocks while increasing allocations in three other names.
The latest data from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) shows that WCM Investment Management has allocated $4.11 billion to buy over 25 million shares of Sea Limited (SE).
Sea Limited is a Singapore-based global consumer internet conglomerate known for owning and operating the e-commerce giant Shopee and the digital entertainment platform Garena. In Q2, SE posted earnings per share of $0.65, beating analyst expectations of $0.51. The growth stock is up over 40% year-to-date.
WCM Investment Management also significantly increased its holdings in Philip Morris (PM) by $2.04 billion last quarter. The tobacco giant, known for paying and even increasing dividends during periods of economic downturn, is up about 80% this year.
The hedge fund also boosted its positions in three other names, starting with the retail-focused trading platform Robinhood (HOOD). SEC filings for Q2 show that WCM holds $959.42 million worth of HOOD shares – up from just $13 million in Q1.
In addition, WCM bought more shares of the agriculture-focused company Corteva (CTVA) over a three-month period, increasing its allocation from $426.088 million in Q1 2025 to $672.835 million in Q2.
Lastly, the firm increased its Nvidia (NVDA) stock trove last quarter, from $671.368 million worth of shares in Q1 to $1.020 billion in Q2.
WCM Investment Management is a California-based asset manager known for managing mutual funds, institutional accounts and individual accounts. The firm focuses on long-term investment strategies involving high-quality growth stocks.
