Maverick Capital, led by Lee Ainslie, made a significant portfolio shift by reducing holdings in mature chip leaders Nvidia (NVDA) and TSMC (TSM) and investing heavily in five surprising new positions: Meta Platforms, AMD, Snowflake, Intel, and Nu Holdings. This rotation reflects a move away from traditional large-cap growth stocks toward a mix of turnaround stories, high-growth tech, and emerging market fintech.
