The rout in bonds so far in 2022 has been deep and wide, with a notable exception: short maturities, which have provided valuable stability that’s otherwise in short supply. This year’s experience with fixed-income securities is a reminder that short maturities sometimes...

Fisher’s 13F portfolio value decreased from ~$165B to ~$141B in Q2 2022. Johnson & Johnson and Capital One Financial were increased while reducing Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk this quarter. The top three positions are Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon. They add up to ~15% of t...
