Many hedge funds have been skillfully navigating this year's market volatility.
For investors seeking to follow the smart money, here are the stocks that mattered the most to these managers.
VerityData analyzed 565 "fundamental" hedge funds that own between 10 and 300 positions each.
The research firm then created a list of stocks that most frequently appear among the 10 largest holdings of those hedge funds.
Other than Microsoft, the majority of the so-called " Magnificent Seven " mega-cap tech stocks — Amazon, Meta, Apple, Nvidia and Google's Alphabet — also made the list, VerityData said.
