Such firms focus on stock picking, have less than 100 positions, and are more activist in their nature than other hedge funds.

Viking Global Investors, the Greenwich, Connecticut-based firm, came in at number one with $23.8 billion in assets, according to the report.

In total, the 10 firms have positions in 389 stocks.
