About Smart Targets - our proprietary ownership models
Using our proprietary ownership models, Smart Targets highlights the major factors driving the buying and selling decisions of a firm or fund. One model is for firms and funds without any current equity holdings in your company and the other is for existing shareholders. Both models have been back-tested on 10 years of global ownership data to ensure they can be accurately applied to all regions, companies and public investors.
You can access Smart Targets directly from Thomson ONE IR.
We can help you plan your roadshows
