Fairfax Financial Ownership

Fairfax Financial retains a total of 23.45 Million outstanding shares. 30% of Fairfax Financial Holdings outstanding shares are owned by other corporate entities. Institutional investors are typically referred to investors that purchase positions in a given stock to benefit from reduced commissions. Consequently, institutional investors are subject to different rules and regulations than regular investors. Please look out for any change in current institutional holding as this could mean something significant has changed at the company or is about to change. Note that regardless of who owns the company, if the true value of the entity is less than the market is willing to pay for it, you may not be able to generate positive returns over time. Some institutional investors establish a significant position in pink sheets such as Fairfax Financial in order to find ways to drive up its value. Retail investors, on the other hand, need to know that institutional holders can own millions of shares of Fairfax Financial, and when they decide to sell, the pink sheet will often sell-off, which may instantly impact shareholders' value. So, traders who get in early or near the beginning of the institutional investor's buying cycle could potentially generate profits.
