Royce & Associates, LP Reports 3.15% Stake in Diamond Hill Investment Group

Royce & Associates, LP filed a Schedule 13G/A on April 28, 2026, disclosing a 3.15% ownership stake in Diamond Hill Investment Group (DHIL). The filing indicates that the investment firm now beneficially owns 85,000 shares of common stock, representing an increase from a previous position of zero shares. Royce & Associates, LP, an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc. (FRI), maintains sole voting and dispositive power over all 85,000 shares. The filing specifies that these securities are held in the ordinary course of business and not for the purpose of influencing or changing the control of the issuer. Despite its affiliation with Franklin Resources, Royce & Associates reports its holdings independently due to internal informational barriers and autonomous exercise of investment discretion. The firm disclaims any pecuniary interest in the reported securities and maintains that it is not part of a "group" with other FRI affiliates for Section 13 purposes. This amendment marks a significant new reported position for the filer in Diamond Hill Investment Group.
