RGA Investment Advisors stated the following regarding Capital One Financial Corporation (NYSE:COF) in its third quarter 2025 investor letter:
“We recently added shares of Capital One Financial Corporation (NYSE:COF) to our portfolios. At one point, through our shares in ING years ago, we owned COF indirectly. This resulted from ING’s divestiture of ING Direct to Capital One, in exchange for cash and shares totaling just shy of 10% of the company. This acquisition gave Capital One a low-cost, digitally native (branchless) deposit base with a state-of-the-art user interface and consumer experience. Though we never owned COF directly, we watched it admirably for years. When COF announced their Discover (DFS) acquisition, we thought it was too good to be true and feared regulators could prevent the tie-up from happening, but we did our work as we watched to see what would happen. As luck would have it, regulators eventually approved the deal and we now own COF directly.
