Institutional Capital Intelligence

Do you know how institutional investors really see your company?

Copley maps the full institutional landscape around your company — who holds you, who backs your competitors, who has moved on, and where the real opportunity sits.

Position first

Know where you stand before you decide who to call.

Your relative ownership, how capital is rotating, and whether conviction is building or fading — the context that makes any engagement list worth acting on.

Relative Ownership

How many funds own you today, and how that number has moved over time — set against your share of the wider institutional universe.

Capital Rotation

How your ownership compares to your closest competitors, and how capital is rotating between you and them.

Ownership Momentum

Whether conviction in your stock is building or fading — before it shows up in your share price.

Understand your position first. Who to engage next follows from that.

The gap

Every quarter, IR teams go into roadshows not knowing how much capital they're leaving on the table.

Not because the data doesn't exist. Because no one has shown it to them.

Your shareholder register tells you who owns you today. Broker notes tell you what analysts think. Neither tells you what actually matters for IR strategy:

  • Which funds have the mandate to own your stock — but don't
  • Which investors backed you before and quietly moved on
  • Which funds are running meaningful positions in your competitors instead
  • Whether the funds that do own you are genuinely convicted or running token exposure

This is your institutional opportunity set. For most listed companies it runs to hundreds of funds and billions in potential AUM. Until now it has been almost entirely invisible.

The methodology

Every report starts with your specific fund universe — not a generic template.

Copley tracks the portfolios of hundreds of long-only actively managed equity funds — the funds that make discretionary decisions on the companies they hold. Before we run any analysis, three things happen.

Step 01

Your fund universe is defined

Every active fund with the mandate to hold your shares is identified — drawn from one or more of our seven specialist universes.

Global USA GEM International UK China Asia ex-Japan

Which universes apply depends on your listing location, benchmark inclusions, and market cap.

Step 02

Your competitor set is agreed

The companies in your fund universe competing for the same portfolio space — typically a mix of country and sector peers.

You can define this entirely yourself, take our recommendation, or work through it together. Most clients do it collaboratively in under 15 minutes.

Step 03

Your report is built

A bespoke Investor Positioning Report is compiled — specific to your company, delivered within 48 hours.

There is no sales process before you receive it. Buy directly, or watch a walkthrough of a real report first.

Inside the report

Right now, capital is moving across your investor universe. Do you know where you sit?

Every bubble is a fund. Every gap is an opportunity — mapped across current holders, past investors, competitor capital, and white space.

Terms and Conditions

Investor Positioning Report — Copley Fund Research Ltd  ·  Last updated: July 2026  ·  Registered in England and Wales

1. Who we are

Copley Fund Research Ltd provides proprietary institutional fund intelligence to listed companies and investor relations professionals. These terms govern every purchase of an Investor Positioning Report. By completing a purchase you confirm you have read, understood, and agreed to these terms in full.

2. What you are purchasing

The Investor Positioning Report is a bespoke PDF report mapping the institutional fund universe around your stock. It covers current investors, past investors, competitor investors, and white space investors. Every report is built from scratch for the specific company ordered and is not a standardised or templated product.

3. Delivery and process

Following payment or invoice issuance, Copley Fund Research will contact you within one working day to agree your competitor set. Production begins once the competitor set is confirmed in writing. The completed report will be released to you within 48 hours of production starting, provided payment has been received in full; where payment is outstanding, the report will be withheld until payment clears. If the requested company falls outside our covered fund universes, or a competitor set cannot be agreed, Copley Fund Research will issue a full refund or cancel the outstanding invoice.

4. Competitor set agreement

The competitor set is agreed with you in writing prior to production, and the report is built to that agreed specification. Requests to amend the competitor set after delivery, based on a change of preference rather than an error, may be treated as a new order.

5. Refund policy

Because each report is produced individually for your company, orders are non-refundable once production has begun, except as set out in clauses 3 and 5a below. By purchasing, you agree not to dispute the charge with your card provider on the basis that the service was not as described, provided the report has been delivered to the agreed specification or corrected under clause 5a.

5a. Quality remedy

If a delivered report contains a material error caused by Copley Fund Research — for example, an incorrect company analysed, a competitor omitted from the agreed set, or content missing from the specification in clause 2 — Copley Fund Research will correct and redeliver the report at no additional charge, within a reasonable timeframe. This is your sole remedy for such errors.

6. Data and accuracy

All fund positioning data in the report reflects holdings as disclosed at the most recently available reporting date at the time of compilation. The timing of fund holdings disclosures is determined by regulatory requirements applicable to each fund and is outside the control of Copley Fund Research Ltd. This data may not reflect current fund positions. Copley Fund Research takes reasonable care to ensure accuracy but makes no warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or current accuracy of the underlying data — though this does not affect the quality remedy in clause 5a for errors in how that data was analysed or presented. Past fund positioning is not indicative of future fund behaviour or investment decisions.

7. Not investment advice

The Investor Positioning Report is produced for investor relations intelligence purposes only. It does not constitute investment advice, financial advice, or a recommendation to buy, hold, or sell any security. The data reflects historical fund positioning and must not be relied upon as a prediction of future fund behaviour or investment decisions. Copley Fund Research Ltd is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority for the provision of investment advice.

8. Permitted use and confidentiality

The report is licensed for internal use by the purchasing organisation only. You may share it with employees and directors of your organisation. You may not: reproduce, redistribute, publish, or resell the report or any part of it; share it with any third party outside your organisation without prior written consent; use the fund or portfolio manager names contained in the report to approach those individuals on behalf of Copley Fund Research or in a manner that could damage Copley Fund Research's relationships with those funds; or use the data for any purpose other than your own investor relations strategy. The data, analysis, and methodology contained in the report are the intellectual property of Copley
