The London Company, an investment management company, released “The London Company Large Cap Strategy” first quarter 2024 investor letter. A copy of the same can be downloaded here. During 1Q, U.S. stocks made significant gains due to steady economic growth, decreasing inflation, and a slightly weaker labor market, increasing the likelihood of a soft landing. The fund gained 8.3% (8.2%, net) during the quarter compared to a 10.3% rise in the Russell 1000 Index. In addition, you can check the top 5 holdings of the fund to know its best picks in 2024.

The London Company Large Cap Strategy featured stocks like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) in its Q1 2024 investor letter. Headquartered in Cupertino, California, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is a multinational technology company that designs and manufactures smartphones, personal computers, tablets, wearables, and accessories. On May 2, 2024, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock closed at $173.03 per share. One-month return of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) was 2.03%, and its shares lost 0.31% of their value over the last 52 weeks. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) has a market capitalization of $2.672 trillion.

The London Company Large Cap Strategy stated the following regarding Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) in its first quarter 2024 investor letter:

"Reduced: Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) - Reduction reflects strong performance in 2023 and resulting elevated valuation. We believe the outlook for AAPL remains strong with slow growth in iPhone (now #1 global market share) and faster growth in the higher margin services business. R&D will continue to drive new products and AAPL now has over 2 billion installed devices around the world. While near term earnings expectations appear reasonable, we felt it was prudent to reduce the position size based on risks to valuation."
