Institutional positions in Bank of Nova Scotia as of Sep 30, 2026. Investment managers with $100 million or more in US stocks report their long positions on Form 13F within 45 days after each quarter ends. How 13F works

Q3 2026 data is still coming in (13F filing deadline: Nov 16, 2026), so these numbers are incomplete.

Shares held: 17.7K; +119 (+0.7%) vs. Q2 2026
Total value: $1.61M; +$81.1K (+5.3%) vs. Q2 2026
New holders: 0; 1 more added
Sold out: 0; 0 more reduced

528 institutions that held it in Q2 2026 haven't filed for Q3 2026 yet. Not filing isn't selling, so they aren't counted as sold out or in the changes above.

Compare with Q2 2026: new holders, sold out and not filed yet
