TD Waterhouse Canada Inc. made sweeping moves in the second quarter, boosting its holdings across five major investments. The most dramatic jump came in Vanguard Growth ETF (VUG), where the firm added 20,283 shares — a 491.8% increase — bringing its total to 24,407 shares worth about $2.1 million, according to Ticker Report.
The Canadian investment firm also expanded stakes in Franco-Nevada, Mondelez International, Johnson Controls International, and Vanguard FTSE Developed Markets ETF. Across those four positions alone, TD Waterhouse holds over $464 million in assets.
VUG and VEA Stakes Climb on Both Ends
TD Waterhouse Canada nearly quintupled its position in Vanguard Growth ETF during Q2. The 491.8% surge brought its stake to 24,407 shares, valued at roughly $2.1 million, according to Ticker Report. VUG tracks large-cap U.S. growth stocks. The move signals a strong bet on American growth companies.
On the international side, the firm grew its Vanguard FTSE Developed Markets ETF (VEA) stake by 7.2%. It now holds 3,603,602 shares worth about $253.8 million. That makes VEA its largest reported position by dollar value. Major institutions broadly added to VEA positions during the same period, according to Ticker Report.
Franco-Nevada Stake Hits $172 Million as Institutions Circle
TD Waterhouse Canada raised its Franco-Nevada (FNV) holdings by 5.1% in Q2. The firm now owns 817,307 shares valued at about $172 million, according to Watchlist News. Franco-Nevada is a gold-focused royalty company. Its stock is heavily held by big investors — hedge funds and institutions own 77.06% of all FNV shares.
The move fits a wider pattern of institutional confidence in precious metals royalty stocks. Royalty companies like Franco-Nevada collect revenue from mines without bearing direct operating costs. That model tends to attract long-term institutional money, especially in uncertain markets.
Johnson Controls and Mondelez See Meaningful Position Growth
TD Waterhouse lifted its Johnson Controls International (JCI) stake by 18.0% to 124,880 shares, valued at around $18.1 million, according to Ticker Report. That's the largest percentage gain among its equity picks this quarter. Notably, VP Todd M. Grabowski sold 1,800 JCI shares on June 9 at $146.20 each — a sign of some insider caution even as institutions bought in. Hedge funds now own about 90.05% of JCI stock.
For Mondelez International (MDLZ), the firm grew its position by 7.4% to 350,553 shares, worth roughly $20.8 million. Mondelez makes global snack brands like Oreo and Cadbury. Institutional investors own 78.32% of MDLZ stock, according to Ticker Report. That high ownership rate reflects steady demand from large funds for consumer staples.
Beyond the Headlines: Intel, GE Vernova, and EchoStar Added Too
TD Waterhouse also made moves outside the headline five. The firm nearly doubled its Intel (INTC) stake — up 93.9% — to 369,989 shares, according to Ticker Report. It added 5,008 GE Vernova shares, lifting that position to 165,072 shares. And it opened a brand-new stake in EchoStar, buying 11,933 shares worth approximately $50,000.
Taken together, the Q2 filings paint a picture of an institution actively expanding exposure across growth, energy, tech, and commodities. 13F filings — required quarterly reports for large institutional investors — show what firms held at the end of each quarter. They offer a window into where big money is moving.
