    If you want to know who really controls Capital Limited (LON:CAPD), then you’ll have to look at the makeup of its share registry. And the group that holds the biggest piece of the pie are institutions with 46% ownership. Put another way, the group faces the maximum upside potential (or downside risk).

    Since institutional have access to huge amounts of capital, their market moves tend to receive a lot of scrutiny by retail or individual investors. Hence, having a considerable amount of institutional money invested in a company is often regarded as a desirable trait.

    Let’s delve deeper into each type of owner of Capital, beginning with the chart below.

    LSE:CAPD Ownership Breakdown January 25th 2026

    Many institutions measure their performance against an index that approximates the local market. So they usually pay more attention to companies that are included in major indices.

    Capital already has institutions on the share registry. Indeed, they own a respectable stake in the company. This can indicate that the company has a certain degree of credibility in the investment community. However, it is best to be wary of relying on the supposed validation that comes with institutional investors. They too, get it wrong sometimes. If multiple institutions change their view on a stock at the same time, you could see the share price drop fast. It’s therefore worth looking at Capital’s earnings history below. Of course, the future is what really matters.

    Hedge funds don’t have many shares in Capital. Looking at our data, we can see that the largest shareholder is Aegis Financial Corporation with 10% of shares outstanding. The second and third largest shareholders are Jamie Boyton and Fidelity International Ltd, with an equal amount of shares to their name at 10%. Jamie Boyton, who is the second-largest shareholder, also happens to hold the title of Top Key Executive.

    On further inspection, we found that more than half the company’s shares are owned by the top 7 shareholders, suggesting that the interests of the larger shareholders are balanced out to an extent by the smaller ones.

    While studying institutional ownership for a company can add value to your research, it is also a good practice to research analyst recommendations to get a deeper understand of a stock’s expected performance. There are a reasonable number of analysts covering the stock, so it might be useful to find out their aggregate view on the future.

    While the precise definition of an insider can be subjective, almost everyone considers board members to be insiders. Management ultimately answers to the board. However, it is not uncommon for managers to be executive board members, especially if they are a founder or the CEO.

    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.

    Our most recent data indicates that insiders own a reasonable proportion of Capital Limited. It has a market capitalization of just UK£267m, and insiders have UK£42m worth of shares in their own names. This may suggest that the founders still own a lot of shares.

    With a 38% ownership, the general public, mostly comprising of individual investors, have some degree of sway over Capital. This size of ownership, while considerable, may not be enough to change company policy if the decision is not in sync with other large shareholders.

    It’s always worth thinking about the different groups who own shares in a company. But to understand Capital better, we need to consider many other factors. To that end, you should be aware of the 1 warning sign we’ve spotted with Capital .

    But ultimately it is the future, not the past, that will determine how well the owners of this business will do. Therefore we think it advisable to take a look at this free report showing whether analysts are predicting a brighter future.

  • Housebuilding in London fall by 84% in a decade, study finds

    Housebuilding in London fall by 84% in a decade, study finds

    New research from consultants Molior found that there were just 5,547 starts on new private-sector residential homes in 2025

    Housebuilding in London’s private housing sector has fallen by 84% since 2015, despite the capital needing 88,000 new homes annually, a new study has found.

    New research from consultants Molior found construction work began on 5,547 new private-sector residential homes in 2025, compared with 33,782 in 2015.

    Lord Bailey, a member of the London Assembly, said London’s housing situation had gone from “difficult to devastating” and “ordinary Londoners are suffering the most”.

    A spokesperson for the Mayor of London said: “Tackling our urgent housing crisis is a top priority” and “Sadiq is doing everything he can to deliver more homes of all tenures”.

    ‘A collapse in housebuilding’

    Bailey told the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS): “This is not just a housing crisis anymore, it is a crisis of stability, opportunity and dignity.”

    “I warned years ago that the mayor’s approach would lead to a collapse in housebuilding. Sadly, that is exactly what has happened.”

    Some 18,326 homes are expected to be completed in London by the end of this year, amounting to around half of the homes currently under construction.

    A further 14,053 homes are not expected to be completed until 2027 or later, which represents just 8% of the government’s 176,000-home, two-year target for London.

    This is a shortfall of 92%.

    Construction work has also been halted on 5,009 homes across 51 development sites in the capital.

    Molior suggests this may be due to building contractors “going bust” because of high construction costs or putting the work on hold deliberately due to a weak sales market.

    The firm added just 8,436 new homes were sold in London during 2025, which it described as “directly contributing to fewer construction starts”.

    To meet government targets, at least 22,000 homes would need to be sold each quarter.

    Khan has said housebuilding has been affected by the “disastrous legacy of the previous government

    A spokesperson for the Mayor of London added: “This year, we are encouraging housing providers to bid for a record £11.7bn of government investment through the Mayor’s Affordable Homes Programme, to deliver social and affordable housing across London.

    “It will work alongside the launch of a new City Hall Developer Investment Fund, backed by an initial £322m, to support large-scale projects in London.

    “The government has also confirmed its support for plans to extend the Docklands Light Railway to Thamesmead, which will help unlock up to 30,000 new homes for Londoners across both sides of the river.”

    Khan said housebuilding has been affected by the “disastrous legacy of the previous government, high interest rates, the rising cost of construction materials, the impact of the pandemic and Brexit, and Building Safety Regulator delays”.

    Lord Bailey added: “It is time for the mayor to take responsibility. His policies have stifled development, slowed delivery, and left Londoners paying the price through rising rents, soaring house prices, and the painful reality of being priced out of the city they call home.”
