Bank of Montreal (BMO) and ten affiliated entities have filed a Schedule 13G revealing aggregate ownership of 46,029,764 TC Energy (TRP) common shares, equal to 4.42 % of the outstanding class as of 30 June 2025. The parent bank holds the majority of the position (45.6 m shares sole voting; 45.7 m sole dispositive). Other notable holders include BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. – Wealth Management (27.0 m) and BMO Asset Management Inc. (11.6 m). No single subsidiary crosses the 5 % threshold; the combined filing is made under Rule 13d-1(b) for qualified institutional investors.
The group certifies that the shares were acquired in the ordinary course of business and not for the purpose of influencing control. With ownership below the 5 % trigger, the disclosure imposes no additional regulatory constraints but confirms continued institutional sponsorship in TC Energy’s equity base.
The filing shows BMO and affiliates as long-term, non-activist owners of TC Energy. Because the stake is below 5 %, the group avoids heightened reporting or potential activist assumptions. From a trading-flow perspective, BMO’s 46 m-share position adds to the issuer’s institutional float depth but does not change control dynamics or capital-raising outlook. Investors may view the disclosure as modestly supportive, yet the absence of intent language tempers expectations for strategic influence.
TL;DR – Ownership spread across 11 entities; no control intent, governance status unchanged.
BMO’s certification under Item 10 makes clear the holding is passive. The granular breakdown of voting and dispositive powers indicates fragmented internal management rather than coordinated action, reducing any governance risk to TC Energy. Because each entity is far below 5 %, no single subsidiary wields outsized influence. Overall impact on shareholder-vote outcomes or board engagement is negligible.

How many TC Energy (TRP) shares does Bank of Montreal own?
46,029,764 common shares, according to the Schedule 13G filed for 30 June 2025.

Do any BMO subsidiaries individually exceed the 5 % reporting threshold?
