Institutional Shareholders31 Oct 2025 10:55
I would take no comfort from having so-called institutional investors on the register. I was invested in Shanta Gold (AIM listed also) last year - fantastic asset in Tanzania, literally one year away from producing 100k ozs pa and in comes a low ball, opportunistic bid from some dubious, Mauritian based consortium (including a board member!) at a price BELOW the last placing. The board rolled over, cravenly recommended it, and despite a great effort to co-ordinate a couple of hundred private shareholders, the effing institutions just ticked the box without I suspect even looking at the name of the company, never mind the long term. In that case, they had a declared c 70% of the shares. Kefi is different - platforms like HL, II and Barclays direct have 40%; but again, don't think it's easy to collect lots of votes from PIs.
I'd like to see who is behind Vidacos, BNY, Pershing and Nortrust etc with 3-7% each. In my experience, they are likely to be institutions.
