• The VIP list features top stocks held by hedge funds
• Flutter stands out as the sole gaming company included

Flutter Entertainment (NYSE: FLUT) has secured a notable spot on the Goldman Sachs Hedge Fund VIP List, marking yet another achievement for the company.

This prestigious list is closely monitored by investment professionals, comprising stocks that are deemed highly significant to hedge fund investments, based on their presence in the top 10 holdings of these funds.

“From an operational perspective, the Hedge Fund VIP list serves as a valuable resource for investors looking to track the movements of savvy capital through 13-F forms,” explains Ben Snider, a senior equity strategist at Goldman Sachs. “The VIP list features the 50 stocks whose performance is likely to drive the long positions of several fundamentally-focused hedge funds.”

With the filing period for second-quarter 13Fs concluding, it’s reported that 22 hedge funds list shares of the parent company of FanDuel among their top holdings.

Flutter Stock Surpasses Berkshire Hathaway and Netflix

Although hedge funds have historically engaged with gaming stocks both as long and short positions, Flutter stands out as the singular representative from this sector on the Goldman VIP list. This recognition is just the beginning for the sportsbook giant.

It’s important to acknowledge that while Berkshire Hathaway and Netflix likely enjoy broader ownership among hedge funds, Flutter has rapidly ascended the ranks since relocating its primary listing from London to New York just over a year ago.

This strategic move aimed to attract more attention from U.S. institutional investors, and early indications suggest that it is indeed yielding positive results.

Potential for Increased Investor Interest in Flutter Stock

There are strong indications that Flutter could enhance its standing in the Goldman Sachs Hedge Fund VIP List, or at the very least, gain broader ownership among fund managers and professional investors. For instance, the stock was included in the Russell 3000 Index at the end of June, marking the first full quarter in this widely recognized benchmark.

This has stirred speculation that the inclusion of the gaming stock in the S&P 500 is inevitable. Recent additions to this benchmark have lower market capitalizations compared to the owner of FanDuel, suggesting that S&P Dow Jones Indices may not exclude this gaming stock for too long.

For investors interested in the full extent of the Goldman list, the Goldman Sachs Hedge Industry VIP ETF (GVIP) is an option, with Flutter ranked among its top 10 holdings.
