Important Facts for Investors to Verify
- Verify the specific identities of the 2 holdings reported, as the provided text only lists the aggregate value ($973.1 million) and count.
- Confirm whether this report represents all holdings of the manager or if other managers report portions of Mizuho's portfolio (the filing indicates "all holdings of this reporting manager are reported in this report").
- Note that this document reflects investment positions held by Mizuho, not the financial health or stock performance of Mizuho Financial Group Inc itself.
