Industry Context

This disaggregation of reporting is a common practice for large asset managers to comply with SEC regulations.
Stakeholder Impact
- Shareholders of Fidelity National Information Services Inc. may observe a change in reported institutional ownership percentages from The Vanguard Group, but the underlying investment by Vanguard's various funds/divisions may still exist, just reported separately.
