Shareholder Insights
Royal Mail plc (RMG LN)
August 13, 2020
Overview
In 2019, Etalon started to provide research based on the analysis of hedge funds
and institutional shareholders. Combining our value/event-driven focus with in-
depth knowledge of many hedge funds active in the market we aim to combine
data analytics with human knowledge and input that is unavailable in data-only
products. This is especially true for identification of “outliers” and generation of
useful insights from them
