Quarterly Performance Highlights
Orient Harbor’s latest 13F filing reveals striking portfolio growth—a 29.8% quarterly increase to $1.127 billion under management. As SEC-mandated disclosures show, Dong Bin’s team now holds 13 US equities following strategic adjustments:
Portfolio Growth Trajectory
The fund’s expansion from $868 million just 90 days prior signals vigorous conviction in current positions. Such growth outpaces the S&P 500’s 4.3% Q2 gain, showcasing selective stock-picking that capitalizes on AI momentum. Historical comparisons reveal consistent scaling: the portfolio has added $2.1 billion since shifting focus to global equities in late 2022 when US tech weighed under 30% of assets versus today’s 92% concentration.
– Q1 2025: $868M AUM
– Q2 2025: $1.127B AUM (29.8% increase)
– 2022–2025 CAGR: 61.2%
Top Holdings Overview
Blockbuster tech names dominate Dong Bin’s US Stock Portfolio as artificial intelligence reshapes allocation logic. Nvidia maintains its anchor position at 18.7% despite slight reductions—a testament to its foundational role in generative AI infrastructure. Google’s leap to second place after massive accumulation highlights confidence in its Gemini models challenging OpenAI’s dominance.
The complete top holdings list reflects a pure-play tech strategy:
1. Nvidia (18.7%)
2. Google (16.3%)
3. 3x FANG+ ETF (12.4%)
4. 3x Nasdaq ETF (11.9%)
5. Meta Platforms (9.6%)
6. Microsoft (8.2%)
7. Amazon (6.8%)
8. Apple (6.1%)
9. Tesla (5.6%)
10. Netflix (5.1%)
Strategic Portfolio Adjustments
Dong Bin’s reconfiguration prioritizes companies positioned to monetize AI-driven productivity surges while entering emerging Web3 ecosystems. This quarter’s additions spotlight tactical shifts:
Google’s New Prominence
Acquiring 267,000 additional Alphabet shares isn’t just position-sizing—it’s conviction in Sundar Pichai’s $50 billion annual AI investment roadmap. With Gemini Advanced competing directly in enterprise and consumer LLM fields, Google’s infrastructure advantages position it for disproportionate cloud and advertising gains. Google comprises 16.3% of the US Stock Portfolio after leaping ahead every ETF holding except leveraged tech trackers.
– DeepMind robotics integration for logistics
– Vertex AI enterprise user growth exceeding 230%
– YouTube automation tools increasing creator revenue
New Entrant Rationale
The new Tesla position arrives as Dojo supercomputer applications could reshape autonomous driving data processing—AI potential beyond EVs. Coinbase joins the US Stock Portfolio during its Web3 infrastructure buildout highlighted by Base network transaction surges. Netflix enters amid content-generation experiments with Runway AI’s synthetic video technology, potentially slashing production costs 40%.
Analysts note timing alignment: all three positions were initiated near technical support zones before recent uptrends, allowing Dong Bin to capture Coinbase’s 102% Q2 return early.
AI Focus Driving Strategy
During July investor meetings, Dong Bin framed artificial intelligence as a ’20-year wealth creation cycle’ justifying concentrated bets. Unlike crypto’s volatility, he positions AI advances on par with mobile internet adoption curves. The US Stock Portfolio directly targets hardware enablers like Nvidia’s GPUs and hyperscalers leveraging scale including Meta’s Llama models.
Long-Term Technology Evolution
Historical parallels guide allocation: similar computing platform shifts (PC→Internet→Mobile) generated 10-year returns topping 1000% for leaders like Microsoft and Apple.
– Current AI leaders market cap: $12.6 trillion
– Projected 2035 ecosystem value: $26–40 trillion
– Productivity impact studies predict 7–15% of global GDP
Domestic and International Tech Parallels
This US-first tech emphasis mirrors ORIENTAL HARBOR’s $931 million Chinese ETF book. As per Private Placement Rankings, domestic funds concentrate in Nasdaq-trackers holding identical giants. The bidirectional exposure creates leveraged upside to cross-border technology diffusion—fields where Dong Bin notes Chinese EV makers and cloud players increasingly implement Nvidia architectures.
Investment Philosophy and Shift
‘We target species transforming ecosystems or impervious to disruption,’ Dong Bin recently asserted. This defines this US Stock Portfolio: global innovators creating change dominate while steady compounders anchor local holdings. Since pivoting offshore in 2022, restructuring focused on three disruptive themes:
Strategic Geographic Diversification
Moving beyond Greater China equities acknowledged demographic and regulatory headwinds. Developed-market tech offered deeper R&D funding plus moated monetization—Google’s search dominance gained geographic resilience, while Meta’s global ad network hedges regional ad slowdowns.
– Pre-2022 China allocation: 84%
– Current offshore exposure: 67%
– Projected Non-China share target: 75–80%
The foray into US-listed firms marks pragmatic adaptation. Portfolio manager notes from Beijing offsites reveal deliberate ‘capability mapping,’ whereby US innovators commercialize discoveries faster, but Chinese manufacturers scale deployment efficiently—thus firms like Tesla bridge both worlds.
Market Implications
Concentrated moves by major funds often signal trend acceleration. Q2’s Tesla accumulation preceded its 31% July jump on autonomy tech updates. Coinbase saw disproportionate volume from Asian institutional buyers after filings became public.
Sector Influence
PE giants as trend-validators matter—Dong Bin joining Cathie Wood in crypto exposure amplified mainstream acceptance. Coinbase could represent 10% weight in ARKK by December. Downstream effects arise via USD 2.95 billion following MSCI China A inclusion.
Currently, Web3 and streaming infrastructure firms monitor incoming allocations: Cloudflare and Roblox now feature in Eastern Harbor screens per Hong Kong analyst notes.
Investment Takeaways
Dong Bin’s US Stock Portfolio adjustments underscore durable themes including foundational AI infrastructure and diffusion plays. For investors, that translates to focusing verticals with verified institutional flows:
– AI hardware enablers (semiconductors/AI accelerators)
– Model layer leaders with proprietary training data
– Deployment ecosystems capturing enterprise spending
Global diversification warrants reassessment too. China buyers holding 18% in S&P500 firms increasingly prefer direct holdings over ADRs following recent changes. Synthetic ETFs owning NVDA/MSFT shares offer dollar-hedged alternatives.
Aggressively deploying into transformational tech while holding steady compounders requires rigorous monitoring. Quarterly SEC filings provide tracking clues, but supplemental surveillance matters. Review your investment horizon against Dong Bin’s decade-long AI thesis—those aligned should consider rebalancing toward innovators with platforms resilient to disruption.
