What does the institutional property of the Australian National Bank say?

Institutional investors generally compare their own returns to the returns of a commonly followed index. As a result, they generally consider buying larger companies included in the relevant benchmark.

The Australian National Bank already has institutions on the stock register. Indeed, they own 20% of the company.
This may indicate that the company has some degree of credibility in the investor community. However, it is better not to rely on the supposed validation of institutional investors. They too are wrong sometimes.
If multiple institutions change their point of view on a stock at the same time, the price of the stock can drop quickly. For this reason, it is useful to consult the National Australia Bank's results history below. Of course, the future is what really matters.

We note that hedge funds do not have a significant investment in the National Australia Bank.
There are many badysts who cover the stock, so it is interesting to see what they also expect.

Insider property of the Australian National Bank

The definition of an insider may differ slightly from one country to another, but board members still count.
The management of the company runs the company, but the CEO will report to the board, even if he is a member.

I generally consider that property by an insider is a good thing. However, it is sometimes difficult for other shareholders to hold the board of directors accountable.

Our most recent data indicates that insiders own less than 1% of National Australia Bank Limited.
This is a very large company, so it would be surprising to see insiders own a large part of it. Although their participation is less than 1%, we can see that board members collectively hold A $ 21 million worth of shares (at current prices).
