TipRanks has launched a new Ownership Overview tool, allowing investors to understand who the shareholders of a company are. Now, retail investors can quickly and easily find a detailed analysis of a company’s ownership structure. We give investors a comprehensive list of the company’s stakeholders, divided into four distinct segments: insiders, institutional investors, individual investors, private companies and mutual funds. The accompanying numbers and pie chart show the percentage of the stock owned by each type of investor.

- Easily identify outperforming stocks and invest smarter with Top Smart Score Stocks
Moreover, the tool features two of TipRanks’ most popular and enduring datasets: Insider Trading Activity, and Hedge Fund Trading Activity. These datasets show the particulars of which insiders and hedge funds have recently bought and/or sold the stock. Investors find this type of data invaluable, as it gives them the power to decide whether to trade a stock, based on the investment success of the institutional investors, mutual funds and insiders who have been trading the stock.
The Ownership Tab also provides a breakdown of a company’s top shareholders. By identifying the major players in a company’s ownership structure, users can gauge the confidence and support of key stakeholders. Furthermore, for those interested in mutual funds, the Ownership Tab includes a list of the top mutual funds holding shares in the company. This information is invaluable for investors looking to align their investments with reputable fund managers.
A 280% Growth in Engagement?
Excitingly, this unique research tool is now available to brokers and other enterprise clients in the form of an iframe. Brokers who implement this iframe will share the Ownership data with their clients, who consequently build an increased sense of confidence in their stock-picking prowess. That, in turn, propels them to increase their trading activity.
In the six-month Beta testing period, TipRanks’ enterprise clients who provided the Ownership tool to their clients saw outstanding results: during times of economic volatility, their clients increased their time on this tool – by up to 280% more time than usual! This indicates that an unsteady economy gives retail investors the impetus to follow the trades of successful institutional investors, mutual funds, insiders and public companies.
Clients with access to the Ownership data are better informed, spend more time on their brokers’ sites, are well-engaged, and place more trades. That’s because their retail investor clients get a boost of confidence when they see the number of profit-earning institutional investors and members of companies’ board of directors who have bought or sold a stock.
Once again, TipRanks has leveled the playing field, giving all investors the tools they need to transform their investment research and power up their portfolios.
