About Leopold Aschenbrenner
# Leopold Aschenbrenner (Situational Awareness LP) – Q2 2026 Profile
Leopold Aschenbrenner, principal of Situational Awareness LP, manages a $20.2 billion portfolio comprised of 24 positions as of the Q2 2026 filing submitted on August 14, 2026. The fund operates as a sector rotator, actively adjusting exposure across thematic positions rather than maintaining a static allocation. The portfolio's breadth reflects a concentrated investment approach, with the investor's largest holdings anchored in semiconductor and energy technology names.
The Q2 2026 filing discloses top-five holdings representing 77.6% of total portfolio value. SanDisk Corp (SNDK) comprises 28.0% of assets under management, while Micron Technology (MU) accounts for 27.5%. Bloom Energy Corp (BE) holds 9.6% of the portfolio, followed by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSM) at 6.4% and Nebius Group N.V. (NBIS) at 6.1%. The unclassified sector designation encompasses 66.9% of the overall portfolio, reflecting the specialized nature of these technology and energy infrastructure holdings.
During the quarter, Situational Awareness LP executed 29 position changes across its 24-position portfolio. Five new positions were initiated while ten existing positions were exited completely. Ten holdings received increased capital allocation, whereas four positions experienced reductions in size. This activity pattern reflects the fund's rotational discipline, with quarterly rebalancing concentrated in semiconductor exposure and emerging infrastructure technology sectors.

About
Former OpenAI researcher and author of the influential "Situational Awareness" essay (2024), which argued that AGI is likely within this decade. Founder of Situational Awareness LP, an AI-focused hedge fund launched in late 2024. Previously worked at OpenAI on alignment and governance before departing in 2024. Known for his views on AI acceleration and national security implications of advanced AI.
Situational Awareness LP significantly concentrated its portfolio around memory and storage semiconductors in Q2 2026, substantially increasing positions in SNDK (up $4.6 billion) and MU (up $4.6 billion) while exiting larger positions in NVDA, ORCL, AVDA, and AMD totaling approximately $4.6 billion in combined value. The fund also initiated new positions in NBIS ($1.2 billion) and STM ($584 million), while modestly trimming exposure to CRWV and BE. This reallocation reflects a shift away from broad-based semiconductor and infrastructure plays toward focused exposure in memory, storage, and emerging AI infrastructure companies. Because 13F filings are delayed by up to 45 days, this should not be treated as real-time investment advice. Always do your own research.

Opening a new position can suggest the manager sees value or a thesis worth committing capital to. It does not necessarily mean they are bullish on the broader market — concentrated managers add positions infrequently while quants may rotate constantly.

Adding to an existing position may indicate higher conviction, scaling into a thesis, or rebalancing toward a target weight. It does not necessarily mean the position is undervalued at the current price.

Fully exiting a position can suggest that the manager's thesis has played out, was wrong, or that capital is being redeployed elsewhere. It does not mean the company is broken — exits are often as much about portfolio fit as about the security itself.
