@kxshxl A lot of them are omnibus and held on behalf of pools of retail/institution like $IBKR. You can kinda guess from some of them that it skews toward retail. But names like Goldman Sachs are institutional.
The US/West now controls majority of the shares of $SIVE. With Goldman Sachs/JP Morgan/Morgan Stanley and other US institutions entering. US/West 46.8%: - Fidelity: 11.5% (retail) - Charles Schawb: 11.4% (retail) - $IBKR: 9.3% (primarily retail) - BNY Mellon: 4.2% (retail) - Morgan Stanley Smith Barney: 3.1% (Retail/Wealth management) -Bank of America: 2.8% (retail/Wealth management) - BNY Mellon: .9% (institutional) - Morgan Stanley Client Assets: .7% (institutional) - Bank of New York Mellon: .5% (institution) - JP Morgan: .5% (institutional) - J.P. Morgan Securities Plc: .4% (institutional) - Citibank New York: .3% (institutional) - JP Morgan SE: .2% (institutional) - Morgan Stanley: .2% (institutional) - JP Morgan Securities: .2% (institutional) - BoFA Securities: .2% (institutional) - Goldman Sachs: .2% (institutional) - Goldman Sachs International: .1% (institutional) - Cbny-Rja-Client Asset - .1% (retail/wealth) Large % now owned US retail shareholders (eg. $IBKR on behalf of clients, probably majority retail some institutions). The new but smaller JP Morgan Goldman Sachs, and Citibank % positions are likely hedge funds or other institutions trying to build positions. Europe & Switzerland: 11.3% - Clearstream: 6.2% - UBS Switzerland: 1.6% - Six SIS: 0.8% - Euroclear Bank: 0.8% - Saxo Bank: 0.6% - BNP Paribas: 0.6% - Caceis Bank / Intesa San Paolo: 0.2% each - KBC / LGT / Julius Baer: 0.1% each Swedish ~8.49%: Försäkringsaktiebolaget Avanza Pension - 4.76% Nordnet Pensionsförsäkring - 2.73% Skandinaviska Enskilda - .2% SEB Life International - .1% Nordea Bank Abp - 0.7% Canada/UK/Middle East ~.6%: First Intl Bank of Israel - .3% Royal Bank of Canada - .1% Royal Bank of Canada - .1% HSBC - .1% A special thank you to the Swedish Media doing the work of US institutions: The West now has ~58.7% ownership. Swedish is now down to 8.49% due to local media. I wonder if they realized what they've done now scaring off local investors now that it's changed hands to US institutions/investors? The West have now acquired majority of the float before the CPO supercycle. You can also start to see US institutions like JP Morgan or Goldman Sachs building start positions (on behalf of institutional investors), probably off of US retail taking profits. This is likely after $SIVE reached a certain MC threshold for fund mandates. But a large % of it is still owned by US retail on places like $IBKR and Fidelity. (this is what I call frontrunning the institutions) TLDR: $SIVE went from majority: -> Swedish retail ownership -> US retail ownership -> gradual US Institution ownership as US retail takes profit or sells (if they figure out a way to scare off US retail like the Swedish media did).
What did I say? $SIVE was undergoing a transfer of Swedish ownership over to the US... If I'm interpreting things right from the new cap table. The US / West now owns 42.18% of $SIVE: ~ $FNF (Fidelity) - 11.5% (US/West) ~ $SCHW (Schwab) - 11.4% (US/West) ~ $IBKR - 9.25% (US/International) ~ Pershing (BNY Melon) - 4.15% (US/West) ~ Morgan Stanley - 3.12% ~Merrill Lynch ( $BOA ) - 2.76% Europe: ~7.73%: Clearstream Banking - 6.16% (European) UBS Switzerland AG - 1.57% (Swedish/EU) While Swedish now hold ~7.49% of $SIVE: Försäkringsaktiebolaget Avanza Pension - 4.76% Nordnet Pensionsförsäkring AB - 2.73 Before, Sivers was a ~60% European/Swedish retail owned company... They went from that, down closer to 0 as they keep selling their shares. US has close to majority control, right before the CPO supercycle of 2027. Transfer seems almost complete?
US retail investors should switch from $HOOD to $IBKR for international equities. I’m not sure why anyone still uses Robinhood for investing anymore. Unless you have $50 and no clue what you’re doing. They had their chance to innovate but focused on Melania Coin integrations
Maybe I’m not allowed to speak as I’m sold at $70 and $HOOD is still at $72 at the moment. But it’s not that you couldn’t see this coming. Robinhood has a wonderful platform and had a disruptive business model. But the financial industry is changing rapidly and Hood is just too slow or ignorant. As Jobs beautifully described once, the tech needs to fulfill the needs of the customer. You start from the customer needs and build your platform/tech based on that. Lately, hood is doing it the other way around. Investors did not ask for prediction markets or fancy chairs you can buy on the platform. Yet, they are forced upon it. Investors want fast and cheap access to all markets and financial products. $IBKR for example gave investors access to European markets and recently even to Korean markets. They feel the customer needs and act upon it. $HOOD will keep on innovating and probably find a way back but they need to do it the right way.
@labubu_trader haha i felt the same with $IBKR UI being trash, but I got used to it. Imagine if they just spent like $150k on their billions of profit. for one designer to overhaul TWS, mobile and their dashboard Hope $HOOD pivots to the right direction.
@XtineFang It’s true $IBKR > $HOOD currently. I do think Robinhood has the potential to turn that around though… they have a better UI and more retail-friendly platform. But just current execution (remove payment order flow for options) and lack of int. offerings is horrendous, so interactive brokers is clearly the better choice atm.
Product innovation from $HOOD would have been enabling international stock trading ASAP. Instead they doubled down on "prediction markets" + "raffles" + new crapcoin listings where retail recklessly lose their money. They also lost retail to $IBKR that now enabled Korean stock trading. Especially due to international stock growth from Taiwah, Korea, Europe, Japan. As a result, we saw new IBKR accounts grow to an all time high this quarter (just from qualitative experiences). My opinion is $HOOD missed earnings since they lost track of what they should actually do to help out retail investors. If they had retail investors all spending tons of TX fees from int. Equities trading, likely more margin usage, fees, cash on platform, wealth appreciation, and so on, which is the basis of the platform. Maybe things would have gone better despite digital asset downturn.
@micahspruill Yeah glad to hear others are feeling the same. Win Semi/HPS.A were a few of the rarer ones that had lower margin requirements as you mentioned. But even if they're in the billion MC range, they still get slapped with close to 100% maintenance margin most of the time. Long only equity in Asia/EU shouldn't be treated the same as US short dated options and I hope $IBKR eases restrictions a bit.
@Ren_aramb Yeah $IBKR is trolling with the margin requirements... and they hike it on volatility too. Like 100% is the same as short dated US options, but instead you just holding pure equities in Asia/EU? Even going long with options has less maintenance margin lol.
Uh... what's with $IBKR + Portfolio Margin + Foreign Stocks? Every single name in Asia or Europe gets slapped to 100% maintenance margin for no reason. Just because something isn't in the US like in Korea, Europe, or Japan doesn't make it a toxic asset? Do you guys just use prime brokers or something to get around this?
@ZacSazerac999 I’m inadvertently hard carrying $IBKR retail growth lol. But glad to hear that! interactive brokers has the best execution so you’ll actually save up long term. Their UI can use a lot of work though.
Woah no way. $IBKR has Korean stocks now. This is going to be fun, I had a lot of ideas in mind I couldn’t long.
@x4tsr Probably would have been millions in referral fees… it’s okay though, improves $IBKR earnings net income by a tiny bit.
You’re welcome $IBKR? But it legitimately is the better brokerage right now, I’m surprised $HOOD doesn’t have international stocks. https://t.co/yMEZOXtI9w
@pennycheck Honestly, not a bad idea for $IBKR, will tune into earnings lol! But I do think all the retail accounts only account for a slight boost relative to institutional volume... the trading fees / margin usage might be material like $HOOD over time.
@japhy_zeng I recommend $IBKR for international stock access. Probably want to get an account anyway since they have the best execution
@DanCote303 The line is green when you switch to % performance. It's blue when you go to USD values on $IBKR.
It’s hilarious we live in a world: Where equity analysts at major banks… Might need to adjust their estimates for $IBKR or $HOOD earnings. Because a random person on X liked international equities like $SIVE, $IQE, Macronix, SK Hynix, Unimicron, and others not available on Robinhood or US brokerages. What a wild timeline.
@mkfilko Yes it’s $IBKR. Right now they have a bug displaying data.
