The United Kingdom’s stock market has recently faced challenges, with the FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 indices experiencing declines due to weak trade data from China, highlighting concerns over global economic recovery. In such uncertain times, growth companies with high insider ownership can be particularly appealing as they often signal confidence from those who know the business best, potentially offering resilience amid broader market volatility.
