Executive Summary

W.G. Shaheen & Associates DBA Whitney & Co filed its Q2 2026 13F-HR on July 28, 2026, revealing a concentrated, mega-cap-centric long equity portfolio with top holdings in Apple, NVIDIA, Alphabet, Amazon, and Newmont Corp.

The filing is a static snapshot as of June 30, 2026, and lacks aggregate portfolio NAV or total value, preventing precise period-over-period percentage comparisons at the portfolio level. However, the disclosed share counts and the presence of both net increases and decreases in positions (via 'VOTING AUTH/OTHER' fields) indicate active portfolio rebalancing during the quarter. The firm's heavy weighting in technology and AI-exposed names (Apple, NVIDIA, Alphabet, Amazon) suggests a bullish tilt toward secular growth themes, while a significant position in gold miner Newmont Corp introduces a defensive/commodity hedge. No forward-looking guidance, insider transactions, or capital allocation actions are present in this filing type, limiting forward-looking insights. The key takeaway is a high-conviction, large-cap growth portfolio with a notable commodity hedge, reflecting a cautious optimism on tech leadership while hedging against macro uncertainty.

Investment Signals (10)

  • Whitney & Co (BULLISH)

    Top holding Apple (588,020 shares) signals strong conviction in consumer tech and services ecosystem, despite broader market rotation concerns

  • Whitney & Co (BULLISH)

    Large NVIDIA position (195,914 shares) reflects sustained AI infrastructure demand thesis, aligning with sector-wide capital expenditure trends

  • Whitney & Co (BULLISH)

    Alphabet CL C (157,550 shares) and Amazon (157,545 shares) holdings indicate confidence in digital advertising and cloud computing growth trajectories

  • Whitney & Co (BULLISH)

    Newmont Corp (155,956 shares) as a top-5 holding suggests a strategic hedge against inflation and geopolitical risk, given gold's safe-haven status

  • Whitney & Co (NEUTRAL)

    Active position changes (net increases/decreases) in the quarter imply tactical rebalancing, potentially capturing short-term alpha

  • Whitney & Co (NEUTRAL)

    Absence of aggregate portfolio value limits ability to assess concentration risk, but top-5 holdings likely represent >30% of portfolio

  • Whitney & Co (NEUTRAL)

    Filing date (July 28) is the last permissible day for Q2 13F, indicating no urgency to disclose, but still timely for investors

  • Whitney & Co (BULLISH)

    No disclosed short positions or derivatives in the 13F, suggesting a pure long-only equity strategy

  • Whitney & Co (NEUTRAL)

    The firm's focus on mega-cap tech aligns with institutional crowding, reducing idiosyncratic risk but increasing correlation to market beta

  • Whitney & Co (BULLISH)

    Newmont's inclusion alongside tech giants creates a barbell strategy—growth + defense—which may outperform in volatile markets

Risk Flags (8)

  • Whitney & Co/Concentration Risk [HIGH RISK]

    Top 5 holdings (Apple, NVIDIA, Alphabet, Amazon, Newmont) likely represent a very high percentage of the portfolio, amplifying drawdown risk if tech corrects

  • Whitney & Co/Lack of Diversification [MEDIUM RISK]

    Portfolio appears heavily skewed to US mega-cap growth, with minimal exposure to value, small-cap, or international equities

  • Whitney & Co/Newmont Volatility [MEDIUM RISK]

    Gold mining stocks are highly sensitive to gold price fluctuations; a sharp drop in gold could materially impact portfolio returns

  • Whitney & Co/No Aggregate Value [LOW RISK]

    Without portfolio NAV, investors cannot calculate position sizes as % of portfolio, obscuring true risk exposure

  • Whitney & Co/13F Lag [LOW RISK]

    The snapshot is as of June 30, but positions may have changed significantly in July, especially given tech volatility

  • Whitney & Co/No Hedging Disclosure [MEDIUM RISK]

    13F does not require disclosure of put options or short positions, so the portfolio may have hidden tail risks

  • Whitney & Co/Regulatory Scrutiny [LOW RISK]

    Large concentrated positions in mega-cap tech may attract SEC attention if deemed 'acting in concert' with other filers

  • Whitney & Co/Market Cap Bias

    All top holdings are >$1 trillion market cap, limiting upside potential relative to smaller,

W.G. Shaheen & Associates DBA Whitney & Co 13F-HR neutral materiality 5/10

28-07-2026

W.G. Shaheen & Associates DBA Whitney & Co filed a Form 13F-HR for the reporting period ended 2026-06-30 (filed 2026-07-28) disclosing long positions across 200+ issuers and ETFs with notable large holdings in Apple Inc (588,020 sh), NVIDIA Corporation (195,914 sh), Alphabet Inc CL C (157,550 sh), Amazon.com Inc (157,545 sh) and Newmont Corp (155,956 sh). The report lists both net increases and decreases in positions during the quarter (many rows show non-zero 'VOTING AUTH/OTHER' activity fields that reflect changes), however the filing is a snapshot of holdings as of 2026-06-30 and does not report aggregate portfolio NAV or total value, limiting period-over-period (%) comparisons at the portfolio level.

  • · Largest position by share count appears to be CNH INDL N V with 1,045,801 sh (ticker N20944109).
