Hi,
You can use TR.InvestorFullName and TR.ShareHeld fields.
This is my code:
import eikon as ek ek.set_app_id('<your app id>') ek.get_data(instruments=['0005.HK'], fields=['TR.InvestorFullName','TR.SharesHeld'])
This is part of the result as of 3rd Jan 2018
( Instrument Investor Full Name \ 0 0005.HK JPMorgan Asset Management U.K. Limited 1 0005.HK BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. 2 0005.HK Ping An Asset Management Co., Ltd. 3 0005.HK The Vanguard Group, Inc. 4 0005.HK Legal & General Investment Management Ltd. 5 0005.HK Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM) ... ... ... Investor Shares Held 0 1319000852 1 1267291596 2 1007946172 3 509326108 4 401921814 5 373122115 ... ... ... }
Typically, you can use Data Item Browser (DIB) app to find the required fields.
Otherwise, you can contact Eikon Excel support team for the requested fields which can be used with the =TR() function. After that, you can also use those fields with Eikon Python API.
You can contact Eikon support team via Contact Us.
As i said i already tried looking for major shareholders using the data browser, however nothing shows up, hence this post. As you suggest i will try the contact us link. I will publish an answer as soon as i have it.
