Editorial policy
ShortInterest.au is a data and education site. This policy explains who is responsible for the site, how content is produced, and how corrections are handled.
Last reviewed: 2026-05-31
People-first
Explanations are written to help readers understand the data before acting on it.
Source-led
Claims about short interest are tied back to ASIC and ASX source files where possible.
No advice
Pages are informational and do not recommend securities or trading strategies.
Correctable
Data issues are reviewed against source files and corrected when confirmed.
Who creates the content
ShortInterest.au is operated by AussieQuant in Australia. Data pages, explainers, and policy pages are maintained by the site operator. When a page contains generated ticker summaries, the summary is derived from structured source data and displayed alongside the underlying table or chart.
Questions about ownership, support, or corrections can be sent to support@shortinterest.au.
How data pages are produced
Ticker pages and leaderboards are produced from a data pipeline that retrieves public source files, normalises tickers and dates, stores the results, and refreshes the web pages. The site does not invent short interest values or manually rank companies for promotional reasons.
Narrative text is intentionally conservative: it describes the latest percentage, recent percentage-point changes, 52-week ranges, and source lag. It avoids price predictions, target prices, or claims that a short-interest move proves future performance.
Why the site exists
ASIC and ASX publish valuable short-selling data, but the raw files can be difficult to search and compare. ShortInterest.au exists to make that public data easier to inspect for Australian investors, journalists, analysts, and researchers.
The site is built around a narrow purpose: ASX short interest and related education. We do not publish unrelated trending topics simply to attract search traffic.
Advertising and independence
Advertising may help fund hosting, data processing, and ongoing maintenance. Advertisers do not decide which securities appear in tables, how source data is labelled, or whether a correction is made.
Corrections policy
If a reader reports a potential issue, we review the ticker, date, and calculation against the stored source file and the public source where available. Confirmed errors are corrected in the data store or page copy and then revalidated so the public page updates.
For data corrections, include the ASX code, affected date, expected value, source link, and a short explanation through the contact page.
