What the Numbers Show
The ownership structure reveals a high concentration among institutional investors within the public holding segment. Mutual funds alone hold 12.07% of the total outstanding units, nearly matching the 12.08% held by individual retail investors. When combined with insurance companies (6.13%) and provident/pension funds (2.64%), domestic institutional capital forms a substantial block of the non-sponsor equity. This suggests that the liquidity and price stability of the REIT are heavily influenced by large institutional flows rather than fragmented retail trading.
