As global markets experience a period of broad-based gains, with U.S. indexes nearing record highs and smaller-cap indexes outperforming their larger counterparts, investors are closely monitoring economic indicators and geopolitical tensions. In this environment, growth companies with high insider ownership can be particularly appealing as they often signal strong confidence in the company's future prospects by those who know it best.
