The big shareholder groups in Dimerix Limited (ASX:DXB) have power over the company. Generally speaking, as a company grows, institutions will increase their ownership. Conversely, insiders often decrease their ownership over time. I quite like to see at least a little bit of insider ownership. As Charlie Munger said ‘Show me the incentive and I will show you the outcome.’
Dimerix is not a large company by global standards. It has a market capitalization of AU$16.7m, which means it wouldn’t have the attention of many institutional investors.

What Does The Lack Of Institutional Ownership Tell Us About Dimerix?
Small companies that are not very actively traded often lack institutional investors, but it’s less common to see large companies without them.
There are multiple explanations for why institutions don’t own a stock. The most common is that the company is too small relative to fund under management, so the institition does not bother to look closely at the company. It is also possible that fund managers don’t own the stock because they aren’t convinced it will perform well. Institutional investors may not find the historic growth of the business impressive, or there might be other factors at play. You can see the past revenue performance of Dimerix, for yourself, below.

Insider Ownership Of Dimerix
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.
Most consider insider ownership a positive because it can indicate the board is well aligned with other shareholders. However, on some occasions too much power is concentrated within this group.
It seems insiders own a significant proportion of Dimerix Limited. Insiders own AU$4.0m worth of shares in the AU$16.7m company. I would say this shows alignment with shareholders, but it is worth noting that the company is still quite small; some insiders may have founded the business.
