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

What does "buy" mean in CL activity?
"Buy" means an investor increased their reported position in CL compared to the prior reporting period. This reflects growing exposure to COLGATE-PALMOLIVE CO (CL) rather than necessarily a brand-new position (though new positions also appear as buys when prior quantity was zero).
Is institutional interest in CL increasing?
Institutional interest in CL 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.
