Euroclear InvestorInsight is the market’s most advanced and trusted solution for identifying foreign shareholders.
You gain curated, accurate reporting based on Euroclear’s global custodian network and its central role as a securities depository - ensuring data integrity and providing a solid foundation for strategic decisions.
Our data collection leverages the Shareholder Rights Directive II (SRD II), which requires custodian banks to transmit shareholder information through the custody chain until the ultimate owner is identified. Thanks to SRD II and SWIFT messaging, shareholder identification is efficient and largely automated.
Our service minimizes manual processes and accelerates cross-border data delivery, ensuring your company stays ahead in monitoring ownership changes- effortlessly and in full compliance.
In the Finnish book-entry system, foreign investors typically hold their shares through nominee registration. This creates multi-tiered custody chains, where the ultimate shareholder is hidden behind several international nominees and asset managers. As a result, companies lack direct visibility into the true structure of their ownership base or changes within it. Gathering information from these complex chains has traditionally been labor-intensive, time-consuming, and often inaccurate for reporting purposes.
