Hedge funds don't have many shares in Remedy Entertainment Oyj. Our data suggests that Markus Maki, who is also the company's Top Key Executive, holds the most number of shares at 23%. When an insider holds a sizeable amount of a company's stock, investors consider it as a positive sign because it suggests that insiders are willing to have their wealth tied up in the future of the company. Tencent Holdings Limited is the second largest shareholder owning 15% of common stock, and Sami Jarvi holds about 12% of the company stock. In addition, we found that Tero Virtala, the CEO has 4.4% of the shares allocated to their name.
