These are the top 10 holdings of the Mormon Church's $46 billion stock portfolio

The $100 billion investment arm of the Mormon Church revealed its holdings in a 13F filing this week.
A whistleblower alleged over the weekend that the church operates its investment arm as a “clandestine hedge fund.”
These are the top 10 holdings of the Mormon Church’s investment portfolio as of March 31.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ has an investment portfolio topping $100 billion that includes $46.2 billion invested in stocks.

The portfolio is registered with the SEC under the name Ensign Peak Advisors, and its lack of disclosures over the years recently led to it paying $5 million to settle charges that it went to great lengths to hide its investment portfolio.

The Mormon church’s investment portfolio wasn’t revealed to the public until 2019, when a former employee of the fund filed a whistleblower complaint, alleging that the fund shouldn’t have tax-exempt status because it doesn’t engage in any charitable activities.

In a “60 Minutes” special over the weekend, the whistleblower said that the Mormon church’s investment arm acted as a “clandestine hedge fund” disguised as a charity.

The church reports its stock holdings on a quarterly basis, and a recent 13F filing revealed its top holdings as of March 31. These are the Mormon church’s top 10 stocks holdings at the end of the first quarter.
