Who Owns Rosgosstrakh Insurance Company (Public Joint Stock Company) (MCX:RGSS)?

In this article, I'm going to take a look at Rosgosstrakh Insurance Company (Public Joint Stock Company)’s (MISX:RGSS) latest ownership structure, a non-fundamental factor which is important, but remains a less discussed subject among investors. A company's ownership structure is often linked to its share performance in both the long- and short-term. Differences in ownership structure of companies can have a profound effect on how management's incentives are aligned with shareholder returns, and whether they adhere to corporate governance best practices. Although this is an important factor for long-term investors, many investors can also be impacted by institutional presence and their high-volume trading. Therefore, I will take a look at RGSS's shareholders in more detail.

This size of ownership gives retail investors collective power in deciding on major policy decisions such as executive compensation, appointment of directors and acquisitions of businesses.

This is a positive sign for an investor who wants to be involved in key decision-making of the company.

Private Company Ownership

Potential investors in RGSS should also look at another important group of investors: private companies, with a stake of 69.25%, who are primarily invested because of strategic and capital gain interests.
