What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About Stratabound Minerals?
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.
Less than 5% of Stratabound Minerals is held by institutional investors. This suggests that some funds have the company in their sights, but many have not yet bought shares in it.

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.
I generally consider insider ownership to be a good thing. However, on some occasions it makes it more difficult for other shareholders to hold the board accountable for decisions.
It seems insiders own a significant proportion of Stratabound Minerals Corp.. It has a market capitalization of just CA$1.3m, and insiders have CA$290k worth of shares in their own names.
