Amidst a backdrop of global economic uncertainties and market volatility, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (SEHK) has shown resilience, with the Hang Seng Index gaining 0.85% recently. In this environment, companies with high insider ownership often stand out as they indicate strong confidence from those closest to the business. When evaluating growth stocks in such conditions, it's crucial to consider firms where insiders have significant skin in the game. This alignment of interests can be particularly reassuring for investors navigating today's fluctuating markets.
