• List of stockholders
• All capital issues
• Stock value over years
• Compensation of boards and directors
• Composition of boards and comittes
• Family relations within the company
• List of companies related to family members
• Stock details
• Intangible details
• Auditing details
• Dividends details

Annualy compiled datasets from FRE for all available companies since 2010 are available at https://www.msperlin.com/blog/data/.
