Since America Movil SAB de CV (ADR) (NYSE:AMX) has faced a decline in interest from hedge fund managers, it’s easy to see that there lies a certain “tier” of funds who sold off their entire stakes by the end of the third quarter. It’s worth mentioning that Israel Englander’s Millennium Management said goodbye to the largest investment of all the investors followed by Insider Monkey, comprising an estimated $5.9 million in stock, and Dmitry Balyasny’s Balyasny Asset Management was right behind this move, as the fund cut about $2.8 million worth of shares.
