    Default Games Workshop Ownership Changes

    There has been a LOT of big shifting in ownership of Games Workshop in 2013.

    Take a look at this:

    As of [URL="http://investor.games-workshop.com/shareholder-statistics/"]March 31, 2013 the major shareholders[/URL] look like this:

    Shareholder Number of shares Percentage
    The Nomad Investment Partnership LP 5,154,141 16.2%
    Investec Asset Management Ltd 3,087,765 9.7%
    [URL="http://www.ruffer.co.uk/"]Ruffer LLP[/URL] 2,557,260 8.1%
    Tom Kirby 2,131,394 6.7%
    Phoenix Asset Management Partners Ltd. 1,865,218 5.9%
    [URL="https://www.fidelityworldwideinvestment.com/global/default.page"]FIL Limited[/URL] 1,753,900 5.5%

    And here's what it looked like in early January 2013:

    Shareholder Number of shares Percentage
    The Nomad Investment Partnership LP 5,800,000 18.7%
    Investec Asset Management Ltd 5,700,000 18.3%
    Phoenix Asset Management Partners Ltd. 2,900,000 9.3%
    Tom Kirby 2,131,394 6.7%
    [URL="http://www.ruffer.co.uk/"]Ruffer LLP[/URL] 800,000 2.5%
    [URL="https://www.fidelityworldwideinvestment.com/global/default.page"]FIL Limited[/URL] 800,000 2.5%

    Some notes:

    The largest three institutional investors (Nomad, Investec, Phoenix) begin selling off their GW portfolios within 1 week of the announcement of CEO Mark Wells leaving the company.

    FIL and in particular Ruffer begin to purchase GW equity at a large rate. Ruffer bought a large set of shares as recently as March 21, 2013, bringing them above the 8% ownership mark.

    Games Workshop equity has been fairly locked up and unchanged for a long time prior to 2013.

    Thoughts and ideas?

    Company about to skyrocket?
    Company about to crater?
    Company about to get bought?
    Business as usual?
