Factset has just released its quarterly report on the stock holdings of the nation’s 50 largest hedge funds.

On the whole, the 50 largest hedge funds increased their exposure to stocks by 3 percent, although 23 managers decreased their stock holdings in the third quarter.

AIG and Capital One were two stocks that received much love from hedge fund managers during the period. While Apple remained the most popular holding, hedge funds cut their exposure to the stock.

We ranked the stocks by their aggregate share in the top 50 hedge funds. And we start with #45.
