    Sorry, I don't understand your question. Perhaps no one else does either, since you haven't gotten any replies?

    Do you mean information on investment companies and hedge funds that use their own money to buy stock in other companies as an investment? Or did you mean information on which mutual funds own stock in a particular company? Or something else?

    Or maybe it would help if you told us why you're looking for this information?

        most large individual companies have an investors page that has some of that information.

        other places you may find useful when researching particular companiesare:

        american bulls
        knobias
        nasdaq
        sec edgar filings
        stock screener (one of my favs, helps you find companies that meet criteria you choose)

              if you're using stock screen (again, good choice!), it has info on the items built into the app.

              when you're at the main screen, click, say, Debt Share of LT Capital %. there's a pop-up box and in the lower right hand corner are 3 buttons, the one on the left says 'Advise Me!'. click this and you get another pop-up describing what the information means and what is recommended.

                Bingo! What you're looking for is information about "publicly traded companies" aka companies you can buy stock in. And I see tinapbeana has already answered your question.

                Two good sources for financial definitions and information about investing in general are:
                The Motley Fool Glossary Of Financial Terms http://www.fool.com/school/Glossary/glossary.htm
                and
                Fool School http://www.fool.com/school.htm (The Motley Fool Aproach To Investing)
