CapAllianz Holdings Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when insider Hong Mong Tan bought S$565k worth of shares at a price of S$0.0033 per share. That means that even when the share price was higher than S$0.002 (the recent price), an insider wanted to purchase shares. While their view may have changed since the purchase was made, this does at least suggest they have had confidence in the company's future. We always take careful note of the price insiders pay when purchasing shares. Generally speaking, it catches our eye when an insider has purchased shares at above current prices, as it suggests they believed the shares were worth buying, even at a higher price. The only individual insider to buy over the last year was Hong Mong Tan.

Insider Ownership
Many investors like to check how much of a company is owned by insiders. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company.

While this is a strong but not outstanding level of insider ownership, it's enough to indicate some alignment between management and smaller shareholders.
