Foolish take
The Alight sale represents one of the fund’s largest sales by percentage in the third quarter of 2025, with the 81% reduction in its position. Consequently, at just 0.11% of AUM, it is now its third-smallest position out of the 48 holdings owned by Philosophy Capital.
In Philosophy’s case, this could further confirm that the fund has turned negative on the market. When including stock options, the top 3 holdings are actually puts in the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Russell 2000 indexes, accounting for around 60% of the fund (the top five holdings listed above are stocks only).
This may especially apply to Alight, whose stock has trended downward since the 2022 bear market. However, instead of recovering in subsequent years like other stocks, Alight traded in a range before resuming its sell-off in the last year and a half.
NYSE: ALIT
Key Data Points
Hence, between Philosophy’s apparent negative take on the overall market and the disappointing performance of Alight, the sale is probably not a surprise to those who have watched this stock.
