NEW YORK: Major US growth mutual funds have been among the largest sellers of Apple Inc shares over the past six months, fuelling speculation that the company’s days of supercharged growth have come to an end.

The US$9.3bil (RM40.94bil) Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund sold 1.4 million shares over the same period, reducing its position by 91%.
