JEF is a disclosed holding of Cliff Asness (AQR Capital Management), one of the tracked superinvestors on AlphaSMO — it makes up 0.1% of that fund's own 13F portfolio.

JEF is a top-conviction position for Moerus Capital Management LLC — at 20.3% of their entire disclosed 13F portfolio, it's one of their largest single bets, not just a passing allocation.

The largest dollar stake in JEF belongs to BlackRock, Inc., but the position matters far more to Moerus Capital Management LLC, who has 20.3% of their own portfolio riding on it — a reminder that the biggest holder by size and the holder with the biggest bet aren't always the same fund.
