As global markets edge closer to record highs, fueled by gains in U.S. stock indexes and a notable outperformance of growth stocks over value shares, investors are navigating an environment marked by rising inflation and cautious monetary policies. In this context, companies with strong insider ownership can be particularly appealing as they often signal confidence from those who know the business best, making them potentially attractive options for those seeking growth opportunities amidst economic uncertainties.
