Institutional moves like Mirae Asset's exit offer a window into how smaller asset managers reposition their portfolios while tech sector valuations remain near multi-month highs.

Keep in mind that 13F filings are backward-looking: they show holdings as of the end of the reporting quarter and may not represent the fund's current position.
