After nearly four decades and achieving unprecedented returns for a 26-year stretch through his Quantum Fund, George Soros has moved on to devote the majority of his time to philanthropic efforts.

In the third quarter, Soros’ fund purchased 91 new stocks and at quarter end held a total of 232 stocks which have an aggregate fair value of $9.14 billion. The amount of turnover from the previous quarter was 24%.
