Expressive Wealth LLC expanded its investment portfolio in the second quarter, buying stakes across five companies including biotech giant Gilead Sciences. The fund purchased 6,869 Gilead shares worth roughly $868,000, alongside new positions in Tyler Technologies ($490,000), Celestica ($651,000), MetLife ($474,000), and Fortinet ($554,000), according to Watchlist News.
