Norwegian hedge fund manager Ole Andreas Halvorsen is one of the world's most highly regarded investors. He's also worth following because he tends to run a relatively concentrated portfolio -- slightly more than 50% of Viking Global Investors holdings are in the top 10 stocks -- so his stock picks are highly relevant. With this in mind, let's take a look at three stocks Viking added in the last quarter.

Halvorsen is clearly someone who backs the conviction of his approach, because the three stocks bought in the period in question spent much of it underperforming the S&P 500 index. In other words, it appears that Viking responded to the declines by buying the stocks because their long-term fundamentals remain sound despite market jitters.
