Some of the world's top stock pickers are making moves amid the recent and accentuated stock-market volatility, which has been caused by trade tensions and concerns about the Fed's monetary policy stance.
Markets Insider details the latest moves and top holdings of 12 billionaire investors, using data from WalletHub.com. The data represents the investors' positions as of March 31, 2019.

John Paulson bought Celgene (CELG) as Ray Dalio sold his stake. And Carl Icahn bought Caesar's Entertainment (CZR) as George Soros unloaded his shares.
