The largest holders by value (MUFG mark-to-market, State Street -$1.8B, Capital International -$2.5B) show meaningful reductions. Active buyers (Capital Research Global +$596M, JPMorgan +$561M, Barclays +$282M) are smaller in aggregate than the sellers. The MUFG position is effectively static (UNCHANGED shares) -- the -$4.9B value decline is Q1 stock price mark-to-market only. The net read: cautious on Morgan Stanley. Large holders reducing exposure with modest offsetting adds from active managers. Fidelity's -19.5% reduction from a top-10 holder is notable.
