Ed Wachenheim $8.66 Billion Portfolio, Top 10 Positions

Sunday, August 9, 2026 · Johnny Hopkins

Ed Wachenheim reported an equity portfolio valued at approximately $8.66 billion in the latest reported quarter, continuing the highly concentrated, classic value investing approach that has long defined Greenhaven Associates.

Rather than diversifying across hundreds of names, Wachenheim focuses capital on a selectivity-driven portfolio of homebuilders, automotive manufacturers, healthcare equipment providers, and technology distributors where he sees a significant mispricing relative to normalized long-term earnings.

The latest filing highlights the firm’s strong conviction. The top ten holdings account for 79.12% of total reported assets, with nearly one-third of the portfolio concentrated in just the top three positions. While core stakes in housing and auto remain the primary pillars, the quarter also featured major new additions and significant adjustments.

Automotive exposure remains a core focus through General Motors, representing Greenhaven’s second-largest position at 11.46%. Together with homebuilders, these highly cyclical, cash-generative businesses form the bedrock of Greenhaven’s portfolio strategy.

Healthcare and Life Sciences form another key leg of the strategy. A major brand-new stake in Becton Dickinson instantly leaped into the top four holdings, while additions to ICON PLC reinforce Greenhaven’s expanding footprint across healthcare supplies, research, and medical technologies.

Overall, the latest filing reflects Wachenheim’s signature high-conviction value mandate, directing substantial capital into established market leaders trading at attractive valuations relative to their underlying earnings potential.
