What the ownership overlap reveals

Across 17 tracked superinvestors, 10 hold both MSFT and META (59% of the combined holder base), led by Chris Hohn (13.1% MSFT · 8.2% META). MSFT appears in 12 tracked portfolios; META in 15, so META is the more widely held of the two among tracked managers.

Both sit in Technology, so the overlap reflects manager preference within one sector rather than a cross-sector divide. On the latest 13F cohort, MSFT’s ConvictionScore reads −8 (slight selling) against META’s +3 (slight accumulation); META shows the stronger net-accumulation reading of the pair.

Among the 10 managers holding both, 7 size MSFT larger and 3 size META larger — a lean toward MSFT. A name held with higher weight by managers who own both is one the shared cohort is more concentrated in.
