Insights
TL;DR: Punch & Associates discloses a material passive stake of 7.3% with sole voting and dispositive power over 1,155,133 Viant shares.
The filing is a Schedule 13G amendment showing an investment adviser holds a meaningful minority position above the 5% disclosure threshold. The adviser reports sole voting and dispositive authority for all 1,155,133 shares and explicitly states the position is held in the ordinary course of business, not to influence control. For investors, this is a material ownership disclosure but, per the filer’s certification, does not indicate activist intent.
TL;DR: A single adviser reports sole voting control of 7.3% of Viant shares, a notable concentration that remains labeled passive.
From a governance perspective, sole voting and dispositive power concentrated in one registered investment adviser is significant for disclosure and proxy considerations. The filer reports no shared power and certifies the position was not acquired to change control, which classifies this as a passive, reportable stake under the rules. This disclosure enhances transparency about shareholder composition but does not, on its face, signal changes to board influence or corporate strategy.
