The figures I have found for the largest shareholders are:Name | Equities | %
Peter Hargreaves | 93,838,474 | 19.78%
Lindsell Train Ltd. | 56,874,459 | 11.99%
Stephen Philip Lansdown | 27,087,419 | 5.71%
Baillie Gifford & Co. | 23,517,973 | 4.96%
The Vanguard Group, Inc. | 14,827,238 | 3.13%
BlackRock Investment Management (UK) Ltd. | 14,677,495 | 3.09%
Liontrust Investment Partners LLP | 12,385,345 | 2.61%
Metropolis Capital Ltd. | 10,861,123 | 2.29%
BlackRock Fund Advisors | 7,827,000 | 1.65%
UBS Asset Management (UK) Ltd. | 7,184,417 | 1.52%
The two founders' total holding, is less than half the 52% reported above.
Enjoy!
