What fund managers bought in March 2026
Holdings: August 2026 · Returns updated 13 Sep 2026
How we calculate this
Month-end holdings disclosures for active-equity funds. We count share-quantity adds and cuts, not portfolio weight. Cash, TREPS, ETFs, fund units and derivatives are dropped. Funds with no prior-month book (a first disclosure) are excluded from month-on-month counts so the whole book is not treated as "bought." 12 funds were excluded this month.
Excludes 12 funds with no prior month, so totals differ slightly from Adds & cuts.
