Stephens Greth Expands ETF Stakes Across VGK, EWJ
Stephens Greth Foundation significantly expanded its positions in multiple international ETFs during the first quarter, boosting its VGK stake by about 375% to 581,343 shares and making VGK roughly 15% of its portfolio with a valuation around $47.9 million. The foundation also lifted its holdings in EWJ, increasing its iShares MSCI Japan ETF position by about 378% to 287,652 shares, placing EWJ as roughly 7.6% of its holdings with around $24.3 million in value. In addition, Stephens Greth expanded its position in Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (VWO) by approximately 384% to 446,625 shares, representing about 7.5% of its portfolio and a reported value near $24.1 million. Across these moves, the foundation’s activity aligns with broader sector interest as other major investors also adjusted stakes in the same ETFs. The reporting firms note notable participation by other institutions in these funds, highlighting a trend of increased exposure to European, Japanese, and emerging market equities. These changes come as part of Stephens Greth Foundation’s ongoing strategy to overweight international markets as part of its diversified investment approach.
