From what we can see, insiders were net buyers in Invesque Inc.'s (TSE:IVQ ) during the past 12 months. That is, insiders acquired the stock in greater numbers than they sold it.
Although we don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing.

Invesque Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
The CEO & Director Adlai Chester made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for CA$860k worth of shares at a price of CA$0.051 each. We do like to see buying, but this purchase was made at well below the current price of CA$0.11. While it does suggest insiders consider the stock undervalued at lower prices, this transaction doesn't tell us much about what they think of current prices.

Insider Ownership
I like to look at how many shares insiders own in a company, to help inform my view of how aligned they are with insiders. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. From looking at our data, insiders own CA$1.9m worth of Invesque stock, about 1.9% of the company. I generally like to see higher levels of ownership.
