The buying spree signals growing institutional appetite for this suite of funds.
Pine Valley was far from alone. Bank of America, LPL Financial, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo and dozens of other institutions all added to their positions in VictoryShares ETFs during the same period, according to Ticker Report.
Bank of America Makes a Massive Bet on VFLO
The headline number from the quarter belongs to Bank of America. The bank grew its stake in VictoryShares Free Cash Flow ETF (VFLO) to 15,967,468 shares — a roughly 10.3% increase, according to Watchlist News. That makes it one of the largest single institutional holders of the ETF.
New buyers also entered the VFLO picture. J.R. Prunier Capital Management LLC bought 48,051 shares worth about $1.9 million in Q1, per Ticker Report. Meanwhile, Curry Webb Wealth Management LLC made an even bigger splash, picking up 391,553 new VFLO shares, according to Defense World.
JPMorgan International Value ETF Draws Outsized Buying
Pine Valley added 105,019 shares of JPMorgan International Value ETF (JIVE) in Q1, bringing its total to 153,576 shares. But that move was overshadowed by Bank of America's JIVE surge. The bank's JIVE holding jumped to 1,165,983 shares — a stunning 2,197.2% increase in a single quarter, per Watchlist News.
Other buyers included the Royal Bank of Canada, Arkadios Wealth Advisors and Quantinno Capital Management. The breadth of buying across firm types — from large banks to independent advisors — points to wide-ranging interest in international value exposure.
JSI and UITB See Steady Institutional Accumulation
Pine Valley lifted its Janus Henderson Securitized Income ETF (JSI) stake by 11.7% to 201,736 shares in Q1, according to Watchlist News. Other buyers joined in: Verus Capital Partners grew its position by 111.6% to 12,705 shares, while Bank of America held 16,608 shares and Arkadios Wealth Advisors added to reach 14,900 shares.
On the bond side, UITB attracted some of the biggest names in asset management. Victory Capital Management held 14,850,508 shares, LPL Financial held 2,146,635 shares, and Bogart Wealth stood at 2,060,745 shares. Wells Fargo also expanded its UITB stake during the quarter, per Ticker Report.
A Broad Shift Toward VictoryShares Across the Market
Taken together, the Q1 filings show a clear trend. Institutions of all sizes — from global banks to small advisory firms — moved money into VictoryShares ETFs in the first quarter. The buying spanned free cash flow strategies, international value, securitized income and core bonds.
Pine Valley itself cut some other holdings during the period. It reduced its position in S&P Global Inc. by 25.2%, trimming to 11,743 shares, according to Ticker Report. That suggests the firm is actively rotating — moving out of individual stocks and into ETF structures as macro conditions shift.
