The hedge fund has cut its exposure to 1.04 million shares worth over $618 million as of March 31, 2016, from 3.19 million shares worth $2.16 billion in the December quarter, according to a filing at the US SEC.
The fund also entirely dissolved its stake in Alibaba Group Holding. Besides, it has brought down its stake in Chinese e-tailer JD.com (by about 25 per cent) and Apple (over 46 per cent).

A T Rowe Price-managed mutual fund had marked it down by 15 per cent in April while Morgan Stanley-backed mutual fund had done so by 27 per cent in February, according to reports.
