Reported totals, quarter ended 2026-06-30
206 reporting managers held 16,632,987 shares, reported value $523,372,312 exactly as filed. Values are position values transcribed from the filings, not current market prices.
Reported quarter-over-quarter change (quarter ended 2026-03-31 to quarter ended 2026-06-30): reporting managers +10, reported shares -394,748 (-2.32%), reported value -1.59%. These changes compare two filing snapshots.
Shares outstanding check: 35,913,628 shares reported by the issuer (SEC XBRL, period ended 2025-12-31). Reported 13F shares equal 46.3% of that figure. This page passed the publication sanity gate before listing.
GSL in this quarter's filings
Concentration check: the largest reported position, TWO SIGMA INVESTMENTS, LP with 1,356,597 shares, is 8.2% of all shares reported for GSL this quarter. The five largest reporting managers together account for 25.8% of the reported total, so the headline total is spread across a broad manager base rather than a few holders.
Reported quarter-over-quarter change: the reporting-manager count rose by 10 versus the quarter ended 2026-03-31, and reported shares moved -2.32% (-394,748 shares). That is a comparison of two filing snapshots, not a record of trades on any single day.
Shares-outstanding cross-check: reported 13F shares equal 46.3% of the issuer share count used at the publication gate (35,913,628 shares, issuer period ended 2025-12-31). The gate publishes a ticker only when that relationship is plausible; lending chains can push reported totals above a simple ownership share, which is why the figure is a sanity check and not an ownership percentage.

What this page is and is not
Form 13F reports are quarterly holdings snapshots. Managers file up to about 45 days after quarter-end, so these figures describe reported positions as of the quarter-end date, not holdings today. 13F lists reportable long positions from managers above the SEC reporting threshold and omits short positions entirely.
