Envestnet Asset Management2026-Q1
Envestnet's OEF position posted -$3.52B this quarter, a startling exit that powered a methodical shift toward international equities and bonds.
TL;DR: The asset manager slashed its S&P 100 stake and poured the proceeds into international and fixed-income ETFs, while also adding shares of mega-cap techs despite price declines. A new enhanced international equity ETF and large builds in treasury bonds underscore a deliberate rotation away from US market concentration.

| IVV | add | +$3.49B |
| EFG | add | +$2.19B |
| BLCR | add | +$1.55B |
| MSFT | add | -$732.7M — price drop outweighed share additions |
Envestnet Asset Management's first-quarter 13F filing reveals a portfolio in active transformation. The firm's turnover ratio surged to 0.206349 from 0.132526, and its holding count rose to 4,703 from 4,439, signaling widespread rebalancing. The most dramatic statement came from the iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF), where the manager exited nearly the entire position. OEF's portfolio weight plunged from 1.08% to 0.03%, freeing billions of dollars for a new geographic and asset-class mix.
The freed capital flowed predominantly into international developed markets and US Treasury bonds. The iShares MSCI EAFE Growth ETF (EFG) saw its weight balloon from 0.09% to 0.67%, while the iShares Enhanced International Equity ETF (IDEF) appeared as a new buy with a 0.39% allocation. At the same time, US Treasury bond exposure through the iShares US Treasury Bond ETF (GOVT) more than doubled, and there were sizable additions to broad-based bond funds like AGG and IUSB.
EFG's weight surged from 0.09% to 0.67% of assets, one of the quarter's most aggressive conviction bets.
Not all buying produced immediate portfolio gains. Envestnet added shares of Microsoft (MSFT), iShares S&P 500 Growth (IWF), and Schwab US Large-Cap Growth (SCHG), yet each holding's dollar value declined as share price drops more than offset the increased positions. The filing notes explicitly characterize these as true buys where price weakness outweighed added quantity — conviction despite negative price action.
Elsewhere, the firm trimmed its BlackRock US Equity Factor Rotation ETF (DYNF) and sold out of the BlackRock Large Cap Value ETF (AZNN). It initiated new positions in AstraZeneca (AZN) and the iShares ESG Advanced Total USD Bond Market ETF (LMUB). Among commodity exposures, the iShares Gold Trust (IAU) was reduced significantly.
The net effect is a portfolio that remains anchored in US equities — Information Technology still accounts for 25.36% of assets — but the directional thrust this quarter is unmistakably toward broader international diversification and fixed-income duration. Whether that bet outpaces the price erosion in some of its growth names will determine the success of this repositioning.
