Western Asset Ownership

Western Asset Global retains a total of 22.7 Million outstanding shares. Roughly 75.17 (%) of Western Asset outstanding shares are held by general public with 24.83 percent by institutional investors. Please note that no matter how many assets the company shows, if the real value of the fund is less than the current market value, you may not be able to make money on it. Some institutional investors establish a significant position in funds such as Western Asset in order to find ways to drive up its value. Retail investors, on the other hand, need to know that institutional holders can own millions of shares of Western Asset, and when they decide to sell, the fund will often sell-off, which may instantly impact shareholders' value. So, traders who get in early or near the beginning of the institutional investor's buying cycle could potentially generate profits.
