Shareholders of QBE Insurance Group Limited
QBE Insurance Group Limited is a widely held public company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: QBE) and has no single controlling shareholder. An on-file share-register extract dated 2 August 2026 lists institutional holders including the Vanguard Developed Markets Index Fund, the Fidelity International Index Fund, Ativo Capital Management, LLC, Rhumbline Advisers and Gamma Investing LLC, drawn from 13 disclosed holder records in total; only 5 of those 13 records were reviewed for this profile. The percentage-of-capital figures attached to these records could not be reconciled against QBE’s total ordinary shares on issue: when checked against the accompanying share quantities, the reported percentages appear substantially overstated and are not reproduced here. They should be treated as unverified pending confirmation against QBE’s official share registry or a current ASX substantial-holding notice (Form 604), which was not independently retrieved during this research. Under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), a holder must lodge a Form 604 with the ASX only once its voting power reaches, or moves through, 5 percent; Australian law does not require publication of a complete shareholder register.
No natural-person ultimate beneficial owner has been identified or verified for QBE Insurance Group Limited. As a widely held ASX-listed company, the available information does not point to a single beneficial owner meeting a typical UBO disclosure threshold, and Australia does not operate a public beneficial-ownership register that would independently confirm this for a company of this kind.
Data availability
Shareholder disclosure for this entity is Partial: an on-file share-register extract lists a subset of institutional holders, but the associated ownership percentages are unreliable and current ASX substantial-holding notices were not independently retrieved. Australian securities law requires disclosure only above the 5 percent substantial-holding threshold and does not require publication of a complete shareholder register.
