Every quarter, we get a peek into what the largest funds are doing with their money, as they are required to file a 13-F form with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission to state what their holdings are at the end of a quarter. Forty-five days later, this information is released to the public so we can track what billionaires are doing with their money. Chase Coleman, with his Tiger Global Management fund, is a solid billionaire to follow, as he has kept up with the artificial intelligence (AI) investing trend.
He’s highly invested in this sector, as 43% of his portfolio is wrapped up in five AI stocks that have been practically unstoppable over the past few years.

Coleman’s portfolio is positioned to take advantage of the large amount of AI spending
It’s important to note that these five stocks aren’t Coieman’s five largest holdings, but they all fall within his 10 largest positions. At the end of Q4, Coleman’s top AI holdings were:
Altogether, these add up to around 43% of his total portfolio. Considering the position sizing of each of these, they can dramatically affect the fund’s performance based on how they do.
However, with this all-star lineup of AI companies, Coleman will likely do just fine. One thing to watch during 2025 for this cohort is how much money the companies are spending. Meta, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Amazon are all expected to have record capital expenditure costs this year, mainly due to building out computing power to meet internal AI demand as well as external AI demand with cloud computing business segments (Microsoft has Azure, Amazon has Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Alphabet has Google Cloud).
While this spending will go to many companies, there is one that will benefit more than any other: Nvidia. Nvidia’s graphics processing units (GPUs) are powering the AI arms race and can also be used to handle other arduous computing tasks. While each of these companies developed an in-house AI accelerator that can outperform Nvidia GPUs when workloads are configured correctly, GPUs are still broadly used and demanded by the masses on the cloud computing front.
As a result, Nvidia will likely be a strong pick, but that doesn’t mean the others are slacking, either. While each is building out its various AI offerings, each has a strong base business that helps fund these investments.
That’s what makes Coleman’s positioning so smart. These five businesses will be highly successful in the short term thanks to their current business models, but they have massive long-term upside due to AI proliferation.
This has already provided Coleman and his team with great returns.
Coleman’s investment returns over the past year have been incredible
One thing that’s important to note is that Coleman and Tiger Global Management didn’t add or sell any of these stocks during Q4. In fact, they own the same amount of shares in Nvidia, Meta, and Microsoft as they did during last year’s Q4. As for Alphabet and Amazon, Coleman hasn’t bought any more shares since Q1 2024.
Besides Microsoft, all of these have been massive winners since the start of 2024, making a substantial profit for Coleman and his crew.
However, none of these companies are done growing, and I think there’s still plenty of upside for them.
So, if you don’t own them, I’d say it’s not too late to take a position in many of these AI leaders. If Coleman thought that the benefit of investing in these companies was over, he would have sold off his positions already. However, he’s confident in this group’s prospects, so he’s holding onto them. Many other billionaires are doing the same thing, so I think it’s safe to continue buying, even with some of these stocks near their all-time highs.
