We can see that Reliance Industries does have institutional investors; and they hold a good portion of the company's
stock. This can indicate that the company has a certain degree of credibility in the investment community. However, it is
best to be wary of relying on the supposed validation that comes with institutional investors. They too, get it wrong
sometimes. When multiple institutions own a stock, there's always a risk that they are in a 'crowded trade'. When such a
trade goes wrong, multiple parties may compete to sell stock fast. This risk is higher in a company without a history of
growth.

Reliance Industries is not owned by hedge funds. The company's largest shareholder is Srichakra Commercials Llp, with
ownership of 12%. With 10% and 8.6% of the shares outstanding respectively, Reliance Industries Investment and Holding
Private Limited and Tattvam Enterprises Llp are the second and third largest shareholders. Furthermore, CEO Mukesh
Ambani is the owner of 0.8% of the company's shares.
We also observed that the top 6 shareholders account for more than half of the share register, with a few smaller
shareholders to balance the interests of the larger ones to a certain extent.

• What role do the insiders play in running the company?

Insiders are a company's officers, directors, relatives, or anyone else with access to key company information before it's
made available to the public. By paying close attention to what insiders do with company shares, savvy investors can make
the reasonable assumption they know a lot more about their company's prospects than the rest of us. Since insider
ownership and trading can impact share prices, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires companies to file
reports on these matters, giving investors the opportunity to have some insight into insider activity.
High insider ownership typically signals confidence in a company's prospects and ownership in its shares. This, in turn,
gives the company's management an incentive to make the company profitable and maximize shareholder value.
Academic research shows that firms with significant insider purchasing tend to outperform the market indexes.
