There are a few different ways to try and get in touch with large institutional shareholders when they are looking to sell or pledge stock from their portfolio. One way is to reach out to them directly by email or phone. However, this can be difficult, as these types of investors may be difficult to contact or may not be interested in speaking with individual investors. Another way is to monitor the filings that these institutions make with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Many institutions are required to disclose when they buy or sell significant amounts of stock, and these filings can include contact information for the institution's representative. Additionally, you can also try reaching out to the investor relations department of the company whose stock is being sold, since they might be able to provide you with contact information for the institutional investors that hold shares of that company. Lastly, you can also use stock screening and monitoring tools, like those available from financial data providers, to track large institutional shareholders and their activity in certain stocks, which can help you identify when they are buying or selling shares, and allow you to reach out to them accordingly. It's important to note that, these institutional investors are professional and have a legal and ethical obligations to follow, they might not easily share their information or entertain unsolicited communication, it might be good to have some context on how you could add value to them as well.

Without knowing where in the world you are it's hard to name any specific institutions but here are some things I've learned over the years: 1. Don't do business banking virtually. By having a relationship with my local bank officer I was allowed to go over my line of credit limit by $5,000 for 14 days on her authority alone. The only reason she let me was our personal relationship. People matter. 2. Ask if you'll automatically be offered credit limit increases based on account activity or if you need to apply each time you want to expand credit. Applying each time will likely create a 'hit' on your credit score. I once had my credit expanded by $20,000 simply because of the account activity. 3. Get a clear understanding of the fees and understand that dealing with you costs the bank money. I'm very suspicious of 'free' accounts of any kind. There is always a cost. 4. Make sure the branch is convenient. I don't like waiting for an hour on the phone to speak to someone in a call center. When there is a royal screw-up in your banking nothing beats marching down and talking to the commercial manager. They'll want you out of their office fast and that means getting a resolution most of the time. 5. If you're going to be doing business internationally, ask about foreign branches or brands. Here in Canada most of the banks own US banks so it can make things easier for business in the US to open a US account in the USA from the comfort of home. Set up a call if you'd like to talk about your specific needs. David C Barnett

You need to be analytically strong and understand financial concepts. The basic building block is understanding time value of money, discount rates, cash flows etc. Essentially, that will be your main job, to understand a firm's value. You'll have to say more on what you know so far (educational background etc) for me to dig deeper in this field.

There are several options for consulting on shareholders' stock portfolios, custodian communication, and stock loans. Some of these include: Financial Advisors: Many financial advisors, such as those at large financial institutions or independent firms, have experience working with shareholders and can provide guidance on managing stock portfolios and other investments. Stockbrokers: Stockbrokers can provide information and advice on buying and selling stocks and can assist with executing trades on behalf of shareholders. Stock loan service providers: There are a number of firms that provide stock loan services, these firms typically focus on lending against publicly traded shares, they also provide collateral management services and market intelligence to their clients. Custodian banks: Some custodian banks also provide custodian services as well as services of communication with the shareholders and other parties related to the shares or securities on the portfolio. It's important to keep in mind that consulting services may require a fee, and it's important to understand what you're paying for and to make sure that the firm or individual providing the services is qualified and licensed to do so. Researching the background of the firm or individual, reading reviews and checking with regulatory agencies, like SEC, would be a good step before engaging in any business with them.
