Here Are Billionaire Leon Cooperman's 5 Biggest Stock Holdings

The Motley FoolMar 12, 2025 12:11 PM

Leon Cooperman is a well-known billionaire hedge fund manager, and although he does manage money on behalf of a few clients, the bulk of his hedge fund's assets are his own money.

Cooperman started his investment career at Goldman Sachs, where he spent 25 years in increasing leadership roles, including a stretch as chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs Asset Management. Impressively, he didn't start his private investment partnership, Omega Advisors, until retiring from Goldman Sachs in 1991.

Fast-forward to 2025, and the 81-year-old Cooperman now manages over $3 billion. His latest SEC filings show 47 different stocks.

Leon Cooperman's five largest stock investments

Without further delay, here's an overview of Cooperman's largest stock investments, ranked in order of their market value as of this writing:

Company (Ticker)

% Ownership

$275 million

4.47%

Energy Transfer LP (NYSE: ET)

Data source: Leon Cooperman's SEC filings. Market values as of 3/4/2025.

When it comes to the five stocks on the list, here's a one-sentence explanation of what each one does:

  • Cooper Group is one of the largest mortgage servicers in the home loan industry.
  • Energy Transfer is a natural gas transportation and energy storage partnership with a 6.8% dividend yield and a $65 billion market capitalization.
  • Vertiv provides power, cooling, and IT infrastructure services.
  • Apollo Global Manager is an alternative asset manager with over half a trillion dollars under management.
  • WillScot Mobile Moni provides mobile storage solutions and modular buildings, mainly for businesses.

Perhaps the biggest takeaway is that Cooperman's portfolio certainly isn't full of the typical stocks you'll find at the top of many billionaires' portfolio. He only owns one of the "Magnificent Seven" stocks, Alphabet, and there are surprisingly few stocks throughout the portfolio that could be considered household names.
