If you want to know who really controls Zhejiang Chang'an Renheng Technology Co., Ltd. (HKG:8139), then you'll have to look at the makeup of its share registry. Large companies usually have institutions as shareholders, and we usually see insiders owning shares in smaller companies. Warren Buffett said that he likes 'a business with enduring competitive advantages that is run by able and owner-oriented people'. So it's nice to see some insider ownership, because it may suggest that management is owner-oriented.

What Does The Lack Of Institutional Ownership Tell Us About Zhejiang Chang'an Renheng Technology?
Institutional investors often avoid companies that are too small, too illiquid or too risky for their tastes. But it's unusual to see larger companies without any institutional investors.
There could be various reasons why no institutions own shares in a company. Typically, small, newly listed companies don't attract much attention from fund managers, because it would not be possible for large fund managers to build a meaningful position in the company. It is also possible that fund managers don't own the stock because they aren't convinced it will perform well. Zhejiang Chang'an Renheng Technology's earnings and revenue track record (below) may not be compelling to institutional investors -- or they simply might not have looked at the business closely.

Insider Ownership Of Zhejiang Chang'an Renheng Technology
While the precise definition of an insider can be subjective, almost everyone considers board members to be insiders. Company management run the business, but the CEO will answer to the board, even if he or she is a member of it.
I generally consider insider ownership to be a good thing. However, on some occasions it makes it more difficult for other shareholders to hold the board accountable for decisions.
It seems that insiders own more than half the Zhejiang Chang'an Renheng Technology Co., Ltd. stock. This gives them a lot of power. Given it has a market cap of HK$379m, that means they have HK$230m worth of shares. Most would argue this is a positive, showing strong alignment with shareholders.
