Frequently asked questions about BMO activity
Which institutional owners are buying BMO?

What does "buy" mean in BMO activity?
"Buy" means an investor increased their reported position in BMO compared to the prior reporting period. This reflects growing exposure to BANK OF MONTREAL (BMO) rather than necessarily a brand-new position (though new positions also appear as buys when prior quantity was zero).
Is institutional interest in BMO increasing?
Institutional interest in BMO can be assessed by comparing the number of tracked funds adding or increasing positions versus those trimming or exiting across the periods shown. A higher number of additions typically signals increasing participation among large filers, but it should be read alongside position sizes and the full table.
