Fund ownership is a floor, not a census — pensions, insurers and people holding shares directly are not visible here.

Adobe Inc.’s bonds, as funds hold them

Funds report holding 8 issues of Adobe Inc.’s debt, $443.56M at market value — what funds hold, not the company’s total debt. Weighted-average coupon 4.13%, maturing 2027 to 2035.

Fund ownership counts N-PORT filers only, so it is a floor rather than a census — pensions, insurers and direct holders are not visible here, and the remainder is not “held by individuals”.

Fund ownership is a subset of institutional 13F ownership — the two describe overlapping populations and must not be added together.
