What Does The Lack Of Institutional Ownership Tell Us About Total Transport Systems?
We don't tend to see institutional investors holding stock of companies that are very risky, thinly traded, or very small. Though we do sometimes see large companies without institutions on the register, it's not particularly common.
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.

Institutional investors may not find the historic growth of the business impressive, or there might be other factors at play.
