What this transaction means for investors
Rockport Wealth’s reported holdings show a diversified mix of growth stocks and relatively safe income investments. After a strong year of stock market returns, it reduced positions in two growth stock holdings — Intuitive Surgical and Alphabet — while adding a new position in AIRR.
A large, diversified ETF like AIRR is a relatively low-risk way to play a recovery in the manufacturing and industrial sectors without taking on single-stock risk. The ETF focuses on small- and mid-size U.S. companies that provide the supplies to build fundamental infrastructure, such as roads and factories. It also invests some of its assets in financials. The fund had a strong year of returns, but it could see more in 2026.
The closely watched U.S. ISM Manufacturing PMI just moved back above 50 after being below that key threshold in recent years. A reading above 50 indicates expansion, which could benefit industrials in 2026. The purchase of AIRR in the quarter appears to be a classic sector rotation bet.
