United Asset Strategies Inc. made a series of aggressive portfolio moves in the first quarter, sharply expanding its stakes across consumer goods, travel, and logistics stocks, according to Watchlist News. The fund's biggest bet was on United Parcel Service, where it boosted its position by 244.8% to 50,837 shares — a holding now worth roughly $5 million.
The moves signal a broad, diversified push by the institutional investor across several high-profile names. From snack maker Mondelez to home-rental platform Airbnb, the fund added to positions across multiple sectors in just one quarter.
UPS and Airbnb Draw the Largest New Dollars
United Asset Strategies made its boldest move in United Parcel Service. It raised its UPS stake by 244.8%, bringing its total to 50,837 shares valued at about $5,001,000, according to Watchlist News. That is by far the fund's largest single holding among its recent additions. Institutional investors own about 60.26% of UPS overall.
Airbnb was another major target. The fund bought 7,646 shares of the home-rental company, worth around $966,000. Airbnb already has heavy institutional backing — about 80.76% of its shares are held by institutional investors. United Asset's purchase adds to that already concentrated ownership base.
Mondelez and Clorox Stakes More Than Double
United Asset Strategies raised its Mondelez International position by 140.5% in the first quarter. It now holds 15,416 shares valued at roughly $889,000, according to Watchlist News. Mondelez — the maker of Oreo cookies and Cadbury chocolate — has deep institutional support. About 78.32% of the stock is held by institutional investors.
Clorox saw an even sharper increase. The fund grew its Clorox stake by 243.0%, reaching 7,347 shares worth about $761,000. In a separate development, Clorox director Pierre R. Breber bought 5,000 shares of the company on May 5 — a sign of insider confidence in the cleaning-products giant.
Amer Sports Buy Comes as CEO Sells Shares
United Asset Strategies opened a brand-new position in Amer Sports, buying 18,697 shares worth approximately $616,000 in the first quarter, according to Watchlist News. Amer Sports makes gear for skiing, tennis, and outdoor sports under brands like Salomon and Wilson.
The fund's entry comes at an interesting moment. Amer Sports CEO Stuart Haselden sold 215,275 shares of the company on June 1 — a large insider sale that contrasts with United Asset's decision to buy in. Insider sales do not always signal trouble, but the timing is worth noting.
GE Aerospace and Grainger Round Out a Busy Quarter
Beyond the headline moves, United Asset Strategies also expanded into industrial names. It raised its GE Aerospace stake by 179.7%, bringing its total to 2,789 shares valued at about $791,000, according to Ticker Report. GE Aerospace makes jet engines and aviation systems for commercial and military customers.
The fund also dramatically boosted its holdings in W.W. Grainger, a supplier of industrial equipment. It grew that position by 1,435.3%, reaching 13,910 shares, according to Watchlist News. Taken together, the quarter shows a fund actively reshaping its portfolio — adding exposure across logistics, consumer brands, travel, and industrial goods all at once.
