Tandem Financial Elevates VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) to Top Holding in Major Portfolio Reshuffle
Anonymous
Tandem Financial LLC disclosed multiple ETF portfolio moves, cutting its stake in the SPDR S&P Software & Services ETF while also trimming another equity-focused holding in the iShares Morningstar Mid-Cap Growth ETF. The firm increased exposure to the Vanguard Long-Term Treasury ETF and made a sharp, more than threefold jump in the Vanguard Small-Cap Growth ETF. It also raised its position in the VanEck Gold Miners ETF, which became its largest ETF holding by value, reflecting a tilt toward commodities-linked equities. Across these filings, other institutions were simultaneously adjusting positions in the same funds, signaling broad investor activity rather than a single-firm bet. Overall, the changes show Tandem balancing growth and fixed-income exposures while adding materially to gold-miner exposure.
