While insider stock sales have been common at the $406.8 billion market cap technology giant this quarter, several hedge funds have also decreased the firm’s participation in their portfolios. Ken Griffin’s Citadel Investment Group, for example, decreased its portfolio holdings by 33% and now holds 760,560 shares, worth $847.6 million. However, Eagle Capital Management, run by Boykin Curry, still maintains its leading shareholder position, with 797,297 Google shares at a value of $888.5 million accounting for 3.6% of the hedge fund’s portfolio.
