Small companies that are not very actively traded often lack institutional investors, but it's less common to see large companies without them.

Insider Ownership Of IBC POLSKA F & P spólka akcyjna

The definition of company insiders can be subjective, and does vary between jurisdictions. Our data reflects individual insiders, capturing board members at the very least. 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.
