Pension funds and insurers invest in companies for the long term. Hedge funds tend to take shorter term views.
If a hedge fund has a significant position in IAG, that tells me a significant change in the share price is expected in the not-too-distant future - ie there is an expectation that IAG will not be entering a period of stability and carry-on-as-before...

Booked flights with BA a few weeks ago to the TLS from LHR for business and now need to change the dates. Firstly, I wanted to see the times of the flights so imagine my surprise when visiting the app and website to find no flights at all available during the last week of October/beginning of November, yet I have a flight booked with them during this time...are BA customer services having more IT problems or should I contact them to ask why I haven't been notified my flight is potentially no longer operating...
Changed our shuttle to LHR on Tue, then cancelled our BGI flight on Wed. Wife spent 45 mins trying to get a refund which they then said they had emailed us with details....still waiting 4 hours later. And this email has apparently gone to the "refunds dept" and could take upto 7 days.
Airlines really are not doing themselves any favours here......after all it was they who cancelled the bloody flights.

BA are changing flights left, right and centre at the moment but when they change a morning flight to an evening flight it really sods up any business plans.
As zfw says they really aren't helping themselves. I've claimed a refund and cancelled the trip.

Notified of cancellation of New Orleans flight on Friday 16th. Spoke to BA on the Saturday morning and all fares and hotel bookings back on my credit card by last Wednesday. BA were extremely helpful. Either some of you don’t understand what you want or can’t resist having a go at BA.

Agreed - BA paid back my deposit and refunded Avios, when balance was due on a trip to Canada in September, at the earliest opportunity and without delay.

Read all the so called scare stories. Rang BA, answered within 10 mins, two bookings for Oct cancelled within 10 mins, refunded within three days. All very courteous and efficient. No 'please consider a voucher'. Well done and good luck.

I think the problem with BA is that it suffers from that 'tall poppy' thingy, where people must have a need to cut it down to size. I'll wager that many who moan about BA on, say, the Telegraph site, have never flown with them, or have not for many years. I've flown with them a dozen times a year for the past five or six years - the experience has been consistently good.

Fair point. It's a reference to a completely different thread.
