What is BlackRock Investment Management (UK) Limited shorting?
13 disclosed net short positions of 0.5% or more across France, Sweden and Spain, per the official registers. Positions below the 0.5% publication threshold are not public. Each position is a percentage of that company's issued share capital, not a money value: a large percentage of a small company can be less money than a small percentage of a giant.
