Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific identities of the 2 securities held, as the provided text lists the count but not the ticker symbols or company names.

- Review the prior quarter's 13F filing to calculate the net change in holdings value and composition.
- Note that this filing reflects Mizuho's role as an investment manager, not its performance as a bank; consult 10-K or 20-F filings for Mizuho's own financial health.
