What this site is
HowShorted republishes and explains public regulatory data from the UK Financial Conduct Authority and the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (whose short position data is reproduced under CC BY 4.0). It is an informational reference, provided free of charge.
No investment advice
Nothing on this site is investment advice, a recommendation, or an invitation to trade any instrument. Short-position data describes past regulatory notifications; it does not predict prices. Decisions you make are your own responsibility; consider professional advice.
Accuracy
We work hard on fidelity to the source (see our methodology), but the data passes through the regulators' processes and ours, either of which can contain errors, and published figures are revised by the FCA in the normal course. The site is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. If you spot an error,tell us and we will fix it.
Use of our data and pages
The underlying disclosures are FCA public data. Our compilations, pages and charts may be quoted and linked freely with attribution to howshorted.com. Automated wholesale scraping that burdens the service is not permitted.
Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for losses arising from use of this site or reliance on its contents.
