This list depicts the much-touted Institutional holders of WMIH common stock. It is interesting to note that 88 of these institutions own less than 100k shares, and that there are a number of familiar names in the top ten. Those in the top ten should embody the greatest level of institutional knowledge about WMIH; several actually increased their positions. Ranked at 114, JPM Morgan Chase has now almost sold out of their position. That may not be an indication of anything in particular, as they use other investment vehicles for investing in stocks. Of the positions that sold out, I see no names that are familiar to me, which may indicate that their institutional knowledge is lacking, or they found a greener pasture for short-term returns.
