As global markets navigate the impact of rising U.S. Treasury yields, with the S&P 500 Index experiencing a pullback after six weeks of gains and growth stocks slightly outperforming their value counterparts, investors are increasingly attentive to insider ownership as a potential indicator of confidence in company prospects.
