Those investment banks are only nominee accounts, ie are not the actual shareholders. They are likely a collection of dozens of institutional investors who use nominee accounts for legal or anonymity reasons. Paper below is a good albeit old discussion.

It is a legal requirement that holders above 5% must declare their position and there are only Ruffer and Van Eck in that category.
