Negative

Insights

Institutional Ownership Analyst

Small passive stake disclosed; no voting control.

The filing shows 52,973 shares representing 2.97% of the ETF class, with sole dispositive authority but zero voting power. That ownership size is below typical activist thresholds and indicates a passive, portfolio holding.

Risks depend on whether the position is client-directed versus proprietary; the certification claims ordinary-course holdings. Monitor updates to ownership percentage around quarterly rebalances or any subsequent amendments within the next reporting cycle.

Compliance & Regulatory Specialist

Form 13G/A correctly used for passive disclosure.

The filer identifies itself as a parent holding company for an affiliated registered investment adviser and checks applicable classifications consistent with a passive investor filing under Schedule 13G rules. The signature and certification language affirm ordinary-course acquisition and non-control intent.

Materiality is limited; watch for any future conversion to Schedule 13D or increases above 5.00%, which would change reporting obligations and signal active intent.
