This filing type does not contain management commentary, forward-looking guidance, risk factors, or contingencies regarding the reporting manager's business operations. It strictly lists securities held with discretionary authority.
Important Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the specific identities of the 2 holdings listed in the full schedule, as the summary text only provides the aggregate value.
- Confirm whether this report represents all holdings of the manager or if other managers report portions of the portfolio (the filing indicates "all holdings of this reporting manager are reported in this report").
- Note that the total value of $1.01 billion represents only the equity securities subject to 13F reporting, not the total assets under management or the market capitalization of Mizuho Financial Group Inc.
