Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Lord Abbett discloses a modest, non-controlling 3.73% stake in UTI, held for advisory clients.

The filing shows an aggregate beneficial position of 2,030,376 shares (3.73%). The split between voting and dispositive power—1,735,016 sole votes versus 2,030,376 sole dispositive—indicates Lord Abbett can direct dispositions for the full reported amount while voting a slightly smaller portion. Item 6 explicitly states the securities are held on behalf of investment advisory clients and Item 10 certifies the holdings are in the ordinary course of business and not intended to change control. For investors, this reads as a disclosure of a meaningful institutional stake without activist intent.
