AI agent for investor relations managers
Shareholder Register and Ownership Change Agent
Notice meaningful ownership changes quickly and prepare the right response.
What it does
Big holders buy and sell, and an activist can build a stake before the company knows. This agent reads regulatory filings and the shareholder register, detects changes in holders and classifies each by type, such as index fund, long-only manager, hedge fund or activist. It checks for signals of activism, such as a stake near a reporting threshold, a new filing with a stated purpose, or buying in several steps. It updates target and watch lists and drafts outreach suggestions for new large holders. When a signal is weak, it waits for the next filing to confirm. The IR manager approves any outreach.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
