As of July 31, the top holdings are some of the usual suspects: Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT), Google Inc (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) and Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) have significant weightings.
In addition, the much-maligned Groupon Inc (NASDAQ: GRPN) is 3.63 percent of the overall portfolio, while Facebook Inc (NASDAQ: FB) is 3.25 percent.
