Institutional ownership from SEC Form 13F filings. Investment managers with more than $100 million in U.S. equities must disclose their positions every quarter, within 45 days of quarter-end, so the holdings shown can lag the market by up to a quarter.

Institutional holdings are being reconciled with SEC filings. Holder totals and changes may be incomplete until reconciliation finishes.
The Sep 30, 2026 filing window is still open — showing the latest known positions. Funds that have not filed yet carry their prior-quarter positions; a fund that filed without this stock counts as sold out. Each fund's Change is measured against its own previous reported quarter, shown in the Reported column. Pick a completed quarter in the Quarter selector below to put every fund on one quarter and see the stock-wide activity breakdown.

Who Holds VRSN

Last 8 quarters through Sep 30, 2026 (filing window open)

Each kind of 13F filer's share of the common shares 13F filers report. Holder type comes from regulatory records, never the filer's name; style, turnover and horizon are measured from each filer's own 13F book. The quarter selector does not change this card.

Jun 30, 2026, the newest closed quarter: 883 filers, like-for-like change +0.5%; actively managed books +2.9%; index-like books -3.6%.

The Sep 30, 2026 filing window is still open, so its bar carries the Jun 30, 2026 positions of filers that have not filed yet.

How the mix is measured

Shares are 13F common shares restated to today's split basis; options and principal amounts are left out. The change compares only filers with a 13F in both quarters and keeps each filer in its bucket of the later quarter on both sides; a filer that continues under a new CIK is compared through its successor. Holder type comes from each filer's current regulatory profile; client base and private funds come from the Form ADV roster current at each quarter end (rosters from December 2019, so an earlier quarter reads Unknown). Style, turnover, horizon and book size are measured from each filer's 13F book in the newest measured quarter, and Not measured means none was. Actively managed books are those measured systematic-like, concentrated or diversified active.

Excluded 9 holders with no observed 2026-03-31 13F and 7 holders with no observed 2026-06-30 13F. Compared across CIK changes: JANUS HENDERSON GROUP PLC continues as Jupiter Topco LLC.

Conviction and Crowding

882 13F filers, quarter ended Jun 30, 2026

Estimated Holder Cost Basis

Quarter ended Jun 30, 2026, on that quarter's share basis

Estimated, never filed: each 13F buy is costed at its quarter's average traded price and each sale keeps the average cost, so this is what holders paid on average if they traded evenly through each quarter.

Estimated cost covers 12.8% of the 13F shares; positions already held when a filer's 13F history starts, or bought in a quarter without a trusted average price, have no estimate.

Fund Ownership of VRSN by Fund Type

How fund types are measured

Each fund series counts once, with its latest Form N-PORT report dated inside the quarter; only long share positions count, restated to today's split basis. The fund type is the series' latest Form N-CEN answer on or before the quarter end (the index-fund box and the exchange-traded flag), never its name. Unclassified funds have no usable N-CEN; unit investment trusts are among them, so index ownership is a floor. Funds sit inside their advisers' 13F reports, so these shares overlap the 13F figures and are never added to them.
