Mustico Financial Group Inc. made a bold portfolio shift in the first quarter, slashing its Corning Incorporated stake by 82.6% while pouring money into broad-market and bond ETFs. The firm cut its Corning position to just 4,682 shares — worth roughly $637,000 — while adding over 110,000 shares of Vanguard Mid-Cap ETF, according to Watchlist News and Ticker Report.
The moves signal a clear turn away from individual stock exposure and toward diversified, lower-risk holdings. Vanguard Mid-Cap ETF now sits as Mustico's largest position, making up 25.6% of its total portfolio.
Corning Stake Slashed to Near-Zero Portfolio Weight
Corning Incorporated took the biggest hit in Mustico's Q1 reshuffle. The firm cut its GLW position by 82.6%, leaving just 4,682 shares valued at about $637,000. That shrinks Corning's share of the portfolio to just 0.4%, dropping it to the firm's 20th-largest holding. It's a dramatic retreat from what was once a more meaningful bet on the electronics sector, according to Ticker Report.
Vanguard Mid-Cap ETF Becomes the Portfolio's Centerpiece
Mustico added 110,265 shares of Vanguard Mid-Cap ETF in Q1 — a jump of more than 320%. The firm now holds 144,415 shares valued at about $41.473 million. That single position makes up 25.6% of the entire portfolio, placing it firmly at the top, according to Watchlist News.
Right behind it, Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF holds at 18.7% of the portfolio. Mustico added 2,658 shares — a modest 1.8% increase — bringing its total to 150,973 shares worth about $30.326 million. Together, these two ETFs account for nearly half the portfolio.
Bond ETF Buying Points to Inflation and Income Strategy
Mustico also moved deeper into fixed-income in Q1. The firm boosted its iShares TIPS Bond ETF stake by 52.7%, adding 31,323 shares to reach 90,807 total — valued at about $10.021 million. TIPS bonds protect investors from inflation by adjusting their value as prices rise. That makes this a clear hedge against ongoing inflation risk, according to Watchlist News.
At the same time, Mustico grew its Fidelity Total Bond ETF position by 31.3%, adding 62,579 shares. It now holds 262,336 shares worth about $12.054 million, making it the firm's 5th-largest holding at 7.4% of the portfolio. The combined bond moves show Mustico building a meaningful cushion in core and inflation-protected debt.
iShares Core S&P 500 ETF Also Gets a Modest Lift
Mustico didn't stop there. The firm also raised its iShares Core S&P 500 ETF position by 9.6% in Q1, picking up 2,114 additional shares to bring its total to 24,241 shares. The move adds more broad U.S. equity exposure on top of the firm's already large mid-cap and equal-weight ETF stakes, according to Ticker Report.
