FORT WASHINGTON INVESTMENT ADVISORS INC /OH/

Key Holdings

The portfolio is heavily anchored in large-cap technology and communication giants, reflecting a "core holdings" strategy focused on market leaders.

• Microsoft (MSFT) is the largest position, valued at $1.03 billion (5.51% of the portfolio), marking a significant new entry.
• Alphabet (GOOG) and Cintas (CTAS) follow as the second and third largest holdings, with $821.85 million (4.38%) and $799.78 million (4.26%), respectively. The presence of Cintas, a uniform services company, alongside mega-cap tech stocks suggests a willingness to invest in high-quality compounders outside the traditional tech sector.
• Apple (AAPL) and Meta (META) round out the top five, with allocations of 3.89% and 3.24%, respectively.
• Notably, the portfolio utilizes ETFs for exposure, with the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) holding the 8th spot at $356.39 million.

The firm also displays a strong inclination toward financial services, holding significant positions in Bank of America (BAC), Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB), and Charles Schwab (SCHW). The inclusion of Fifth Third Bancorp, headquartered in Ohio, alongside Cincinnati Financial Corp, hints at a potential regional bias or specialized expertise in Midwestern financial institutions.
