Capital Research and Management Co., a Los Angeles-based investment company, has built up a stake of 5.23% in the capital of Societe Generale SA (GLE.FR), one of France's leading banks, according to a filing with France's market regulator.

Autorite des Marches Financiers said CMRC, part of the Capital Group Companies, crossed the 5% threshold that requires companies to report the size of their stake on Oct. 7, following share purchases on the open market.

The stake gives CMRC 4.66% of Societe Generale's voting rights.
