Disclosure-led

Short Holders

Named short position holder disclosures from 20+ European regulators. See exactly who is short, how much, and when positions change.

How this works

Unlike the US and much of Asia, many European regulators require investors to publicly disclose net short positions once they cross a threshold — typically 0.5% of a company's issued share capital, with further disclosures at each subsequent 0.1% move. That means for these markets we can show exactly which fund is short, how much, and when the position changed — not just an aggregate percentage. This data only exists for markets with this disclosure regime; markets without one (like the US) only publish aggregate short interest, with no holder attribution.
