[JOHANNESBURG, 17 AUGUST 2022]

ProfileData has launched Share Stats and Insights (SSI), an easy-to-use add-on reporting tool, which provides real-time information for listed company board members, exco members and IR practitioners. “Knowledge of who owns your share, who is buying and who is selling is strategic to managing value for one’s shareholders”, says Ernie Alexander, Chairman of the Profile Group.

SSI is modelled on the share statistic information requirements of formal financial reports, including those typically included in board information packs.

It offers tables and charts on two databases:

• Share price movements, market values, liquidity, trade statistics, price/earnings ratios and dividend yields.
• Institutional holdings, sales and purchases as represented by portfolio reports from collective investment schemes.

Key features of SSI include:

• User-defined date controls, making it possible to instantly obtain share statistic data for any calendar range, from a few days, to a week, monthly, quarterly, a year or financial year.
• Customisable peer comparisons, making it possible to instantly compare a company's share statistics with up to four peers.
• Downloadable bar charts suitable for inclusion in board information packs or other reports.
• Exportable data tables.
• Detailed quarterly views on asset manager activities.
• Quarterly analysis by fund on share movement and holdings, both for previous institutional shareholders and new buyers. 
• Aggregated analysis across funds by asset manager.
• Institutional trading pattern comparisons with up to four peers.

Analysis of investor classification, location and share allocation as well as shareholder buying and selling trends, is easily analysed and condensed into a reporting tool customised to the issuer’s investor relations needs, saving both time and costs.

ProfileData is a subsidiary of information publisher, Profile Group, the leading South African supplier of data feeds and customised data solutions for financial markets clients.
