SEC Filing Summary: Form 13F-HR
Business Context and Reporting Period
This filing is a Form 13F Holdings Report submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The report covers the calendar quarter ended June 30, 2010. The filing is made on behalf of Lloyds Banking Group Plc and includes holdings managed by three other institutional investment managers: Scottish Widows plc, Hill Samuel Bank (Jersey) Limited, and Lloyds TSB Offshore Limited. The report discloses equity securities held by these entities as of the reporting date.
Key Financial Metrics
As this is a Form 13F filing, it discloses portfolio holdings rather than the operating financial performance (revenue, profit, cash flow) of Lloyds Banking Group itself. The following metrics relate to the reported investment portfolio:
- Total Portfolio Value: $7,431,415,000 (Reported in thousands as $7,431,415).
- Total Number of Holdings: 698 distinct entries.
- Exchange Rate Used: 1.496 (Implied GBP to USD conversion for reporting).
- Top Holdings by Value:
- Bank of America Corp: ~$9.26 million (9,262,708 shares)

- Wells Fargo & Co: ~$5.68 million (5,679,040 shares)
- General Electric Co: ~$5.69 million (5,690,623 shares)
Note: The "Value" column in the source text represents the aggregate market value of the holdings in thousands of US dollars. The specific share counts listed in the table (e.g., 9,262,708 for Bank of America) correspond to the "Shares" column, while the "Value" column indicates the total dollar value of those specific line items.
Material Changes and Portfolio Composition
The filing does not provide a comparative table against the prior quarter (March 31, 2010) to explicitly calculate material changes in holdings. However, the portfolio composition indicates a heavy concentration in:
- Financials: Significant positions in major U.S. banks (Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase) and insurance companies (MetLife, AIG, Prudential).
- Technology: Large holdings in Microsoft, Intel, Cisco Systems, and Hewlett-Packard.
- Energy: Substantial exposure to Exxon Mobil, Chevron, and ConocoPhillips.
- Consumer Staples: Notable positions in Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, and Wal-Mart Stores.
The report lists holdings across various sectors, including industrials, healthcare, and consumer discretionary, reflecting a diversified institutional portfolio.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Guidance and Outlook: Form 13F filings are historical disclosures of holdings and do not contain forward-looking guidance, management commentary, or strategic outlooks for the reporting entity.
Risks and Contingencies: The filing does not disclose specific risk factors or contingencies. However, the concentration of assets in the financial sector (e.g., Bank of America, Citigroup) during the 2010 period implies exposure to the ongoing recovery of the global banking system following the 2008 financial crisis. The filing represents a snapshot of assets under management and does not detail the risk management strategies employed by the managers.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Reporting Entity: Verify that the holdings are attributed to Lloyds Banking Group Plc and its associated managers (Scottish Widows, Hill Samuel, Lloyds TSB Offshore).
- Valuation Basis: Confirm that the total value of $7.43 billion is calculated using the reported exchange rate of 1.496 and represents the market value as of June 30, 2010.
- Top Concentrations: Note the significant exposure to U.S. financial institutions, which may correlate with the broader economic recovery status of that period.
- Scope of Report: Understand that this document lists investments held by Lloyds Banking Group's investment arms, not the operating assets or liabilities of the bank itself.
- Missing Data: The filing does not provide data on revenue, net income, debt levels, or liquidity ratios for Lloyds Banking Group Plc; these must be sourced from the company's annual or quarterly financial reports (e.g., Form 20-F or 6-K).
