Who Are Frontline Gold Corporation’s (CVE:FGC) Major Shareholders?

TSXV:FGC Ownership_summary Dec 27th 17

Insider Ownership

Another important group of shareholders are company insiders. Insider ownership has to do more with how the company is managed and less to do with the direct impact of the magnitude of shares trading on the market. A major group of owners of FGC is individual insiders, sitting with a hefty 19.62% stake in the company. Broadly, insider ownership of this level has been found to negatively affect companies with consistently low PE ratio (underperforming). And a positive impact has been seen on companies with a high PE ratio (outperforming). Another aspect of insider ownership is to learn about their recent transactions. Insiders buying company shares can be a positive indicator of future performance, but a selling decision can simply be driven by personal financial needs.

General Public Ownership

A substantial ownership of 80.37% in FGC is held by the general public. With this size of ownership, retail investors can collectively play a role in major company policies that affect shareholders returns, including executive remuneration and the appointment of directors. They can also exercise the power to decline an acquisition or merger that may not improve profitability.

Private Company Ownership

Potential investors in FGC should also look at another important group of investors: private companies, with a stake of 0.01%, who are primarily invested because of strategic and capital gain interests. However, an ownership of this size may be relatively insignificant, meaning that these shareholders may not have the potential to influence FGC’s business strategy. Thus, investors not need worry too much about the consequences of these holdings.

What this means for you:

A relatively significant holding of company insiders could mean high alignment with shareholders. But at the same time, investors should be aware of the level of influence executives could have on governance decisions. However, ownership structure should not be the only determining factor when you’re building an investment thesis for FGC. Rather, you should be examining fundamental factors such as Frontline Gold’s past track record and financial health. I highly recommend you to complete your research by taking a look at the following:
