About This Data

Estimated portfolio values are calculated using top-20 shareholder register percentages multiplied by current market capitalisation. These are approximations only. Holdings below the top-20 threshold are not captured, meaning actual iwi equity exposure may be higher. Market values fluctuate daily, so estimated values change accordingly. Some iwi hold shares through nominee companies or custodial structures that may not be identified by name matching. This analysis is based on publicly available shareholder register data and known iwi entity names.

Data sourced from NZX top 20 shareholder registers and current market capitalisation data. Our datasets may not be complete. Automated analysis can produce errors. If you believe any data on this page is incorrect, please contact us at hello@nzxplorer.co.nz.
