As a new filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission showed, Matt Sirovich and Jeremy Mindich‘s Scopia Capital has unloaded its entire stake in Alere Inc (NYSE:ALR). The investor previously held 6.90 million shares of the company, as revealed in Scopia’s latest 13F filing.
Among the funds we track, Alere was in 30 hedge funds’ portfolios at the end of the fourth quarter of 2015 and it registered a decrease in popularity during the quarter, as there were 39 hedge funds in our database with ALR positions at the end of September.
Of the funds tracked by Insider Monkey, Scopia Capital had the largest position in Alere Inc (NYSE:ALR) at the end of last year. Sitting at the No. 2 spot was Senator Investment Group, managed by Doug Silverman and Alexander Klabin, which amassed a $142.7 million position; 1.8% of its 13F portfolio was allocated to the stock. Remaining members of the smart money that held long positions contain David Cohen and Harold Levy’s Iridian Asset Management, Ric Dillon’s Diamond Hill Capital and William B. Gray’s Orbis Investment Management.
Because Alere Inc (NYSE:ALR) has experienced declining sentiment from the aggregate hedge fund industry, logic holds that there lies a certain “tier” of money managers who sold off their positions entirely heading into 2016. Intriguingly, Columbus Circle Investors dropped the biggest investment of all the hedgies followed by Insider Monkey, worth close to $70.3 million in stock. Anand Parekh’s fund, Alyeska Investment Group, also said goodbye to its stock, about $35.8 million worth.
