Specifically, Stockhead tracks substantial shareholder movements, being shareholders holding 5 per cent or more of a company’s shares. These can be directors, individual investors, or institutional investors.

Shareholders are required to announce to the exchange when they cross above or below the 5 per cent threshold, as well as any change in their holdings while they remain above 5 per cent.

Leading this fortnight’s list of substantial holder trades are a handful of large cap resources stocks.

One was recently listed copper producer 29Metals (ASX:29M) which has a market capitalisation of ~$1.2 billion. Yarra Capital Management topped up its holdings to over 7%, making a net $13.3 million in purchases.

Next was gold producer St Barbara (ASX:SBM). It is now 8.96% owned by L1 Capital which acquired nearly 10 million shares.

And mineral sands large cap Iluka (ASX:ILU) welcomed Alphinity Investment Management which acquired a stake of just over 5% having gradually accumulated shares since August.

Turning to other sectors, Regal Funds Management topped up its holdings in Gefen (ASX:GFN), an Israeli insurance tech company which listed earlier this year but is down over 40% from its IPO price.

It also bought into telco play Over the Wire (ASX:OTW), which is set to be snapped up by Aussie Broadband (ASX:ABB).

New Zealand fundie Fisher Funds Management became a substantial shareholder of Serko (ASX:SKO), a corporate travel and expense solution company.

Alex Waislitz’s Thorney Opportunities typically focuses on tech and industrials but it is a shareholder in coal company Terracom (ASX:TER) and it topped up its holdings to nearly 12%.

At the microcap end, Pure Asset Management became a substantial holder of tech stock Sensera (ASX:SE1).

This company has been under siege in the last fortnight since unveiling a plan to sell its sole operating business – a move which the company admitted would likely lead to its ASX suspension for some months with entry only possible if and when it found a new business.
