Top 3 Institutional Shareholders

 

Institutional investors hold between 43-51% of Moderna's total shares outstanding.910 Institutional investors institutional investment managers with at least $100 million in assets under management (AUM) must file an SEC Form 13F every quarter to disclose their equity holdings. Individual investors may be considered institutional investors if they acquire 5% or more of a company's shares, thus requiring them to file either a Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G form.

Baillie Gifford & Co.

 

Baillie Gifford owns 44.7 million shares of Moderna, representing 11.2% of total shares outstanding, according to the company's 13G filing for the period ending Feb. 1, 2021.11 The U.K.-based company is a global investment management firm that provides portfolio management, consulting, financial planning, and investment supervisory services. Baillie Gifford has $445.3 billion in AUM and manages a range of mutual funds.1213 Moderna is among the top ten holdings of the firm's Baillie Gifford Positive Change Equities Fund, comprising about 5.5% of the portfolio.14

Flagship Pioneering Inc.

 

Flagship Pioneering owns 30.9 million shares of Moderna, representing 7.7% of total shares outstanding, according to the company's 13F filing for the period ending Dec. 31, 2020.11 As mentioned above, Flagship is a venture capital firm.

Moderna was its largest holding, comprising 58.7% of its portfolio.16

Stéphane Bancel

 

Stéphane Bancel, as an institutional investor, owns 28.7 million shares of Moderna, representing 7.2% of total shares outstanding, according to his 13G filing for the period ending Dec. 31, 2020.11 Bancel's institutional holdings include shares of which he has direct ownership, as noted in the individual insider section above. According to his 13G, Bancel has direct ownership of about 6.5 million shares of Moderna, slightly above the figure mentioned earlier. The difference can be explained by the difference in timing between his most recent 13G filing and Form 4 filing. Form 4's are usually more recent since they must be filed whenever a material amount of shares are either bought or sold. Bancel's institutional holdings also include shares of Moderna that are held indirectly through OCHA LLC and Boston Biotech Ventures LLC, both of which Bancel is the majority unit holder and sole managing member. OCHA directly owns 7.6 million Moderna shares while Boston Biotech owns about 9.1 million shares. Additionally, Bancel's institutional holdings include 5.2 million shares issuable upon exercise of share options and approximately 0.2 million shares held by a trust for the benefit of his family. Because Bancel is in a position where he has sole voting power over these 28.7 million shares, regardless of whether they are held indirectly or not, he is required to disclose these holdings. The SEC requires high levels of disclosure and transparency as it aims to protect the integrity of capital markets for the benefit of all investors.17

Vanguard to Expand ESG Lineup with Positive Impact Stock Fund

VALLEY FORGE, Pa., Jan. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ – Vanguard today filed an initial registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to introduce Vanguard Baillie Gifford Global Positive Impact Stock Fund, which is designed to meet the needs of investors seeking actively managed global equity returns along with measurable impact on environmental and social challenges. The fund is expected to launch in the second quarter of 2022 and subsequently seek to adopt the existing Baillie Gifford Positive Change Equities Fund, contingent upon shareholder approval. Vanguard expects to make the combined fund available for public investment in the third quarter.

 

"We'll continue to thoughtfully expand our ESG lineup, introducing funds and ETFs with enduring investment merit that reflect clients' needs and preferences," said Vanguard Chairman and CEO Tim Buckley. "The new Global Positive Impact Stock Fund will tap Baillie Gifford's significant expertise in fundamental equity research and impact analysis, helping our clients to achieve both their impact and investment goals."

 

Impact investing is a dual-mandate investment strategy in which portfolio managers target companies that will generate returns as well as positive social and/or environmental impact. Vanguard believes an active approach to impact investing enables skilled managers to better navigate the complexities of identifying companies driving positive change and build a portfolio with the potential to deliver on both excess return and impact objectives.

 

Vanguard's new fund will seek to adopt the existingBaillie GiffordPositive Change Equities Fund. Introduced in 2017, Baillie Gifford's fund employs a consistent framework to identify high-quality growth companies driving solutions to global challenges. Its portfolio managers expect these companies to achieve strong long-term returns. The fund's global mandate provides clients with the broadest exposure to companies that meet both excess return and impact objectives.

 

In the second quarter of 2022,Baillie Giffordwill conduct a proxy vote for approval from the Positive Change Equities Fund's existing shareholders to undergo a tax-free reorganization into the new Vanguard fund. Vanguard and Baillie Gifford are confident that this approach serves both existing and prospective investors, as the new fund is expected to have lower shareholder costs. If the reorganization is approved, current shareholders of the Positive Change Equities Fund are expected to realize an expense ratio reduction of approximately 0.06%. With an estimated expense ratio of 0.59%, the new Vanguard fund will be favorably priced compared to similar funds in its category, which have an average expense ratio of 1.49%.1

 

Vanguard Baillie Gifford GlobalPositive Impact Stock Fund will maintain the investment objectives and portfolio management team of the existing Baillie Gifford fund, ensuring consistency upon reorganization. Furthermore, Baillie Gifford will continue to produce an annual impact report using robust, bottom-up research that complements its investment analysis.

 

"We hope that this fund adoption will broaden access to impact investing at a very competitive cost," said Andrew Telfer, Baillie Gifford Joint Senior Partner. "As a result, it should help to channel more capital towards companies driving positive change."
