What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About Relo Group?

Institutional investors commonly compare their own returns to the returns of a commonly followed index. So they generally do consider buying larger companies that are included in the relevant benchmark index.

We can see that Relo Group does have institutional investors; and they hold a good portion of the company's stock. This can indicate that the company has a certain degree of credibility in the investment community. However, it is best to be wary of relying on the supposed validation that comes with institutional investors. They too, get it wrong sometimes. If multiple institutions change their view on a stock at the same time, you could see the share price drop fast. It's therefore worth looking at Relo Group's earnings history below.

Hedge funds don't have many shares in Relo Group. Because actions speak louder than words, we consider it a good sign when insiders own a significant stake in a company. In Relo Group's case, its Top Key Executive, Masanori Sasada, is the largest shareholder, holding 24% of shares outstanding. Hikari Tsushin, Inc. is the second largest shareholder owning 12% of common stock, and The Vanguard Group, Inc. holds about 2.5% of the company stock.

On further inspection, we found that more than half the company's shares are owned by the top 9 shareholders, suggesting that the interests of the larger shareholders are balanced out to an extent by the smaller ones.

The company management answer to the board and the latter should represent the interests of shareholders. Notably, sometimes top-level managers are on the board themselves.

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.
