SEC Filing Summary: Westwood Holdings Group Inc (Form 13F)
Business Context and Reporting Period
This filing is a Form 13F Information Table submitted by Westwood Holdings Group Inc, a registered investment adviser. The report discloses the company's equity holdings as of the reporting period ending September 30, 2018. The document details the issuer names, security titles, CUSIP numbers, share quantities, and market values of securities held, along with voting authority classifications.
Key Financial Metrics and Portfolio Composition
The filing provides a granular list of equity positions but does not aggregate total portfolio value, revenue, profit, or cash flow for Westwood Holdings Group Inc itself. Key portfolio characteristics include:
- Asset Class: The portfolio consists primarily of common stocks (COM), preferred stocks (PFD), limited partnership units (LP), and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs).
- Top Holdings by Value: Significant positions include Bank of America Corp ($9.57M), AT&T Inc ($5.30M), Chesapeake Energy Corp ($4.57M), and Enterprise Products Partners L P ($3.78M).
- Industry Exposure: The portfolio shows heavy concentration in Energy (e.g., Chesapeake, Enterprise Products, EOG Resources), Financials (e.g., Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo), and Technology (e.g., Microsoft, Apple, Alphabet).
- Voting Authority: Most positions are held with "Sole" or "Shared" voting authority, with some positions marked as "None" (typically ETFs or specific partnership units).
Material Changes and Comparisons
The filing text does not provide a clear value for material changes versus the prior comparable period. Form 13F filings are snapshots of holdings at a specific date and do not inherently contain comparative data against the previous quarter's holdings within the text of the table itself.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing text does not provide a clear value for management commentary, future guidance, outlook, or specific risk factors. This document is a statutory disclosure of current holdings and does not contain narrative sections regarding strategy or contingencies. The standard SEC disclaimer notes that the Commission has not reviewed the information for accuracy.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Total Portfolio Value: Verify the aggregate market value of all holdings, as the filing lists individual positions but does not sum the total assets under management.
- Turnover Rate: Compare this list against the June 30, 2018, 13F filing to calculate the fund's trading activity and turnover rate.
- Concentration Risk: Assess the percentage of the total portfolio held in the top 10 positions (e.g., Bank of America, AT&T, Chesapeake Energy) to evaluate concentration risk.
- Derivatives and Options: Review the "Put/Call" column to confirm if any significant derivative positions were held, as the provided text shows mostly "SH" (Shares) with limited option activity.
- Foreign Exposure: Verify the total value of foreign securities (e.g., Alibaba, Tencent, Shell) to understand geographic diversification.
