Vanguard realignment leaves WSFS holdings at 0 (WSFS)

The Vanguard Group has filed an amended Schedule 13G/A, reporting zero beneficial ownership of WSFS Financial Corp shares following an internal realignment effective January 12, 2026. This change means that certain Vanguard subsidiaries will now report their holdings separately, in accordance with SEC Release No. 34-39538, rather than indicating a sale of WSFS shares. The filing, signed by Ashley Grim, Head of Global Fund Administration, emphasizes a recalculation of reporting responsibilities, not a market transaction.
