A registry report tells you who. It doesn't tell you what it means.

Registry exports are long spreadsheets. Working out who matters, what's changed and what to do about it takes hours, so most companies only look closely before a raise.

  1. 01

    Spreadsheets, not answers

    Thousands of rows of names and holdings, with no view of how the register is structured or where the risk sits.

  2. 02

    Nominees hide the owners

    Custodian and nominee accounts hold large blocks on behalf of others, so the investors behind them stay out of view.

  3. 03

    Movement goes unnoticed

    A top holder sells down or a new one builds a position, and nobody notices until it's in a substantial holder notice.

Common questions

What is share register analysis?

Share register analysis is the work of understanding who owns a listed company: how ownership splits between institutions, nominees and retail investors, how concentrated it is, and how it's changing over time. Companies use it to plan investor outreach, prepare for capital raisings and keep the board informed.

What does a share register anatomy show?

A register anatomy breaks the register into its parts: the share of holders and the share of stock held by each group, such as the top 20, institutions, nominee accounts and retail holders of different sizes. It shows at a glance where control sits, how much of the register is retail, and how that's moving.

How often should a listed company look at its register?

At least monthly, and more often around results, announcements and capital raisings. Changes in the top holders are worth watching continuously, because an early conversation with a holder who's selling down is far easier than explaining a fall in the share price afterwards.

Can I see who's behind nominee holdings?

Nominee and custodian accounts hold shares on behalf of other investors, so the owners behind them don't appear on the register. The anatomy shows how much of your register sits in nominee accounts, and investors who sign up to your hub help you meet the people behind those holdings.
