Business Context and Reporting Period
Company: Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD Bank)
Filing Type: Form 13F Information Table (Report of Holdings)
Reporting Period: Second Quarter ended June 30, 2022
Context: This filing discloses the equity securities held by TD Bank as of the end of the reporting period. It details the number of shares, value, and voting authority for a diversified portfolio of U.S. and Canadian equities, as well as certain bond holdings. The filing does not contain financial performance metrics (revenue, profit) for TD Bank itself, but rather a snapshot of its investment portfolio.
Key Financial Metrics and Portfolio Composition
Portfolio Overview: The filing lists hundreds of individual positions across various sectors, including Technology, Financials, Energy, Healthcare, and Consumer Staples. The portfolio includes both common stock and preferred stock, as well as exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and corporate bonds.
Top Holdings by Value (Selected Examples):
- Technology: Apple Inc. (~$8.26M shares), Microsoft Corp. (~$3.92M shares), Amazon.com Inc. (~$2.63M shares), NVIDIA Corp. (~$1.72M shares).
- Financials: JPMorgan Chase & Co. (~$1.40M shares), Bank of America Corp. (~$1.49M shares), Visa Inc. (~$1.43M shares).

Derivatives and Bonds: The filing includes positions in options (calls and puts) on ETFs such as SPDR Gold Trust and iShares Silver Trust. It also lists significant corporate bond holdings, including issuers like Airbnb, Uber, and DocuSign.
Material Changes and Voting Authority
Voting Authority: The vast majority of equity positions are held with Sole voting authority. A smaller subset of positions, primarily in Canadian equities (e.g., Toronto-Dominion Bank itself, Bank of Montreal, BCE Inc.), are held with Discretionary (DFND) voting authority, indicating the bank manages these votes on behalf of clients or other entities.
Portfolio Activity: As a quarterly snapshot, this filing does not explicitly state the net change in holdings compared to the prior quarter (Q1 2022) within the text provided. However, the presence of specific share counts allows for external comparison to previous filings to determine buying or selling activity.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: Form 13F filings are regulatory disclosures of holdings and do not contain management commentary, forward-looking guidance, or strategic outlook for the reporting company (TD Bank).
Risks and Contingencies: The filing itself does not discuss risks. However, the portfolio composition reveals exposure to:
- Market Risk: Significant exposure to large-cap U.S. technology and financial stocks.
- Geographic Risk: Substantial holdings in Canadian financial and energy sectors.
- Commodity Risk: Holdings in gold and silver ETFs and options suggest hedging or speculative positions related to precious metals.
Important Facts for Investors to Verify
- Concentration Risk: Verify the total aggregate value of the portfolio to understand the concentration in top 10 holdings (e.g., Apple, Microsoft, Amazon) relative to the bank's total assets.
- Client vs. Proprietary: Distinguish between holdings managed for clients (Discretionary/DFND) and proprietary trading accounts (Sole), particularly in the Canadian equity section.
- Derivative Exposure: Review the specific terms of the options positions on gold and silver ETFs to understand the bank's hedging strategy or speculative stance on commodities.
- Bond Portfolio Quality: Assess the credit quality of the corporate bond holdings (e.g., Airbnb, Uber, Peloton) which may carry higher risk than investment-grade government bonds.
- Regulatory Compliance: Confirm that the reported holdings align with the bank's stated investment policy and regulatory capital requirements.
