As the FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 indices in the United Kingdom experience downward pressure due to weak trade data from China, investors are increasingly focused on identifying resilient growth companies with high insider ownership. In such a challenging market environment, stocks where insiders hold significant stakes can be appealing as they often signal confidence in the company’s long-term potential and alignment of interests between management and shareholders.
