Fifth Third Bancorp

The full register, from 13F filings

The Register tab above is hand research: a dozen holders, each traced to the filing it came from. This asks the same question of the whole market for the quarter ended 31-mar-2026, where 1,208 managers reported a position. Broad where the research is deep, and shallow in the ways a 13F always is.

Built from 13F filings, which report US listed, long, US custodied positions only. A register from this source is a floor rather than a level: a holder's true position can be far larger, as BlackRock's ASML stake shows at 1.28m shares in a 13F against 26.3m in its 13G/A. Holdings held through derivatives, outside US custody, or below a manager's reporting obligation do not appear. Where a holder is marked as a family, its total sums several separate filing entities and describes something no single filing describes; the constituent entities and their share counts are listed so the total can be checked. That roll-up can legitimately exceed the family's own Schedule 13G, because a 13G is filed by one legal entity: Vanguard reports Alphabet through ten advisory entities, and The Vanguard Group Inc itself reported zero after its January 2026 disaggregation.

What a reader needs to know to read these numbers

• The 13F exclusion, the Fifth Third case. Fifth Third itself files a Form 13F: for the quarter ended 30 June 2026 (filed 5 Aug 2026, accession 0001193125-26-334233, CIK 0000035527), the filing is a '13F COMBINATION REPORT' whose cover page names Franklin Street Advisors, Fifth Third Wealth Advisors, and Fifth Third Bank, National Association as included managers. Its summary page reports tableEntryTotal 4,336 positions with tableValueTotal $61,667,248,852 (about $61.7 billion). This is Fifth Third's wealth-management, trust and advisory book, i.e. client assets managed on behalf of others, not the Bancorp's own strategic balance-sheet stakes. Per the brief's exclusion of client-held index-style positions, no line item from this filing appears in holdings, the same treatment this project's ameriprise.json and pnc.json apply to those firms' own 13Fs.
• The securities investment portfolio is excluded as a category, not sized as holdings. The FY2025 10-K's Table 20 shows $49.0 billion of total investment securities at 31 Dec 2025 (available-for-sale debt and other securities, held-to-maturity securities, trading debt securities and equity securities), overwhelmingly Treasuries, agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities held for liquidity and interest-rate management, not equity stakes in named companies. Within that portfolio a 'Total equity securities (fair value)' line of $453 million (2025) / $341 million (2024) sits inside the TRADING securities table, i.e. mark-to-market trading inventory, not disclosed by issuer, and is excluded on the same basis: no individual investee is named or sized.
• FHLB, FRB and DTCC restricted stock are excluded and not equity stakes. The FY2025 10-K states: 'Other securities consist of FHLB, FRB and DTCC restricted stock holdings of $167 million, $505 million and $2 million, respectively, at December 31, 2025, that are carried at cost.' These are Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Reserve Bank and Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation membership stock: non-transferable, redeemable at par as a condition of membership rather than a market equity investment, and are correctly excluded from holdings per the brief.
• Fifth Third does NOT currently hold Visa Class B shares. The Q2 2026 10-Q's Note 21 (derivatives) and the 'Visa litigation' note both discuss a 'swap associated with the sale of Visa, Inc. Class B Shares' with a fair value swap liability of $70 million at 30 Jun 2026 ($124 million at 31 Dec 2025, reflecting a $6 million impact from the Comerica acquisition). The filing states 'As of the date of the Bancorp's sale of the Visa Class B Shares and through June 30, 2026...' confirming the Bancorp already sold its Visa Class B holding in a prior period and retains only a total return swap tied to the Visa litigation escrow, a derivative liability rather than an equity position. Unlike PNC and JPMorgan, Fifth Third has no current Visa Class B share count or conversion ratio to report; no Visa holding was added to holdings.
• Private equity fund LP interests are excluded as an unnamed combined balance. The Q2 2026 10-Q's Note on private equity investments states the Bancorp 'invests as a limited partner in private equity investment funds' with capital contributions of $20 million (Q2 2026) and $33 million (H1 2026), a cumulative $23 million of positive observable-price adjustments since 1 Jan 2018 and a cumulative $28 million of impairment since the same date, and $13 million of impairment recognized in Q2 2026 alone. No individual fund or underlying company is named, and no single total carrying value is disclosed, so per the rule against assigning a combined balance to one investee, no holdings row was created and this is reported here instead.
• Holdings are empty by design, a sourced finding rather than a gap. Both the Q2 2026 10-Q and the FY2025 10-K were searched for 'equity method', 'unconsolidated', 'joint venture', 'non-marketable', 'Federal Home Loan Bank', 'Federal Reserve Bank stock' and 'private equity investments'. 'Joint venture' returns one hit, a general accounting-policy sentence naming no investee. 'Equity method' appears in the cash flow statement (dividends/proceeds from equity method investments, decrease in equity method investment income) and in general accounting policy, again with no investee named.
• Fifth Third has a single class of common stock. The Q2 2026 10-Q shows average common shares outstanding jumping from 670,787,224 (Q2 2025) to 911,612,858 (Q2 2026), a roughly 36 percent increase. This is the basis trap the brief warns about: Fifth Third completed its stock-for-stock acquisition of Comerica on 1 Feb 2026 (referenced repeatedly in the 10-Q, e.g. the Visa swap liability 'reflects the impact of the Comerica acquisition on February 1, 2026'), which is confirmed by the SEC XBRL dei:EntityCommonStockSharesOutstanding series jumping from 661,011,769 at 31 Oct 2025 to 901,819,022 at 1 Feb 2026 and 906,892,564 at 31 Jul 2026 (Q2 2026 10-Q cover page, used as company.shares_outstanding here).
• The 2026 proxy's director beneficial-ownership table (Timothy N. Spence and the 30-person officers/directors group) is dated 31 Dec 2025, before the 1 Feb 2026 Comerica merger closed, so its own stated percentages (0.1091% and 0.5149%) use the smaller pre-merger share count. Raw share counts from the proxy are used as filed, but pct_of_company for both rows is recomputed against the current 906,892,564 shares outstanding so the register is internally consistent; both proxy percentages are therefore slightly higher than what appears in this file.
• The proxy's own 5-percent-holder table (as of 15 Feb 2026, based on the filers' own Schedule 13G calculations) lists The Vanguard Group at 87,331,391 shares (12.82%), BlackRock, Inc. at 68,067,535 shares (10.3%), T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. at 35,548,204 shares (5.4%), and Capital World Investors at 33,754,731 shares (5.0%). No Dodge & Cox, Berkshire Hathaway or Wellington row appears in this table. Checked directly against Q2 2026 13F-HR filings: Berkshire Hathaway Inc (CIK 0001067983) and Dodge & Cox (CIK 0000200217) both hold zero FITB shares (verified by CUSIP 316773100 absence and a 'FIFTH' name-fragment search across each filer's full info table). Wellington Management Co LLP (CIK 0001633863), the main US Wellington 13F registrant, filed Form 13F-NT (notice, no holdings) for Q2 2026, consistent with a pattern going back to at least 2015; the Wellington affiliate or affiliates that actually report any FITB position were not identified within the time budget, so no Wellington row is included here (see unknowns) rather than guessing which entity to sum.
• 13F-derived register figures use each Q2 2026 (30 Jun 2026) Form 13F-HR position, generally fresher than the proxy's stale Schedule 13G-based 5 percent table. Register share counts are cross-checked against an implied price per share: BlackRock $56.37, State Street $56.76, Geode $56.15, Capital World Investors $56.37, JPMorgan $56.78, Norges Bank $56.37, T. Rowe Price (after the thousands rescale) $56.37, all clustering tightly and supporting the T. Rowe Price rescale.
• Self-gate check, computed with the exact chart formula in the research brief: 11 register rows, summing to 391,536,728 shares (Timothy N. Spence counted at full value 721,604; the 30-person officers/directors group counted at its residual of 3,411,438 minus 721,604 = 2,689,834 to avoid double-counting the CEO), against 906,892,564 shares outstanding, or 43.17%, within the expected 25 to 45 percent range.
