Company Snapshot
The Toronto-Dominion Bank, or TD Bank, is one of North America's largest diversified financial institutions, with significant operations in both Canada and the United States. It offers a comprehensive suite of financial products and services, including personal and business banking, wealth management, insurance, and capital markets solutions.
It serves a diversified customer base encompassing individuals, small and medium-sized businesses, corporations, and institutional clients. TD Bank operates an extensive branch and ATM network in Canada and the United States, with a growing digital banking presence.
Foolish take
TD Bank had a difficult 2023 and 2024, due to both sector and company specific headwinds. Last year, it was fined over $3 billion by various U.S. authorities for failing to prevent money laundering, among other charges. Regulators also put an asset cap on TD Bank's U.S. operations.
This year's relatively strong performance is a sign that the company is starting to put its troubles behind it. With a new CEO in the form of Raymond Chun and an aggressive restructuring program, TD Bank has almost erased its losses and regained its 2022 high.
This may have been a factor in Keystone's decision to exit the majority of its position. It's unlikely to have been a sector-specific move since the fund slightly increased its exposure to other financial companies such as Bank of Nova Scotia (NYSE:BNS)and T. Rowe Price (NASDAQ:TROW). U.S. Bancorp continues to be one of its top five holdings.
It's noteworthy that around half of Keystone Financial Planning's holdings are in the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF. Taken with its other investments, the fund appears to be fairly risk averse. We can't know what drives an institution's buy or sell decisions, but TD Bank's recovery may have been an opportunity for Keystone to exit a position that no longer fitted its profile.
