What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About BMO Real Estate Investments?
Institutions typically measure themselves against a benchmark when reporting to their own investors, so they often become more enthusiastic about a stock once it's included in a major index. We would expect most companies to have some institutions on the register, especially if they are growing.
As you can see, institutional investors own 29% of BMO Real Estate Investments. This suggests some credibility amongst professional investors. But we can't rely on that fact alone, since institutions make bad investments sometimes, just like everyone does. It is not uncommon to see a big share price drop if two large institutional investors try to sell out of a stock at the same time. So it is worth checking the past earnings trajectory of BMO Real Estate Investments, (below). Of course, keep in mind that there are other factors to consider, too.
Hedge funds don't have many shares in BMO Real Estate Investments. Our information suggests that there isn't any analyst coverage of the stock, so it is probably little known.
Insider Ownership Of BMO Real Estate Investments
While the precise definition of an insider can be subjective, almost everyone considers board members to be insiders. Management ultimately answers to the board. However, it is not uncommon for managers to be executive board members, especially if they are a founder or the CEO.
Most consider insider ownership a positive because it can indicate the board is well aligned with other shareholders. However, on some occasions too much power is concentrated within this group.
Our most recent data indicates that insiders own less than 1% of BMO Real Estate Investments Limited. It appears that the board holds about UK£295k worth of stock. This compares to a market capitalization of UK£193m. I generally like to see a board more invested. However it might be worth checking if those insiders have been buying.
General Public Ownership
The general public -- mostly retail investors -- own 71% of BMO Real Estate Investments . This size of ownership gives retail investors collective power. They can and probably do influence decisions on executive compensation, dividend policies and proposed business acquisitions.
