PSC Insurance Group Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
In fact, the recent purchase by Deputy Chairman Paul Dwyer was not their only acquisition of PSC Insurance Group shares this year. Earlier in the year, they paid AU$2.80 per share in a AU$1.4m purchase. That means that even when the share price was higher than AU$2.35 (the recent price), an insider wanted to purchase shares. Their view may have changed since then, but at least it shows they felt optimistic at the time. We always take careful note of the price insiders pay when purchasing shares. It is generally more encouraging if they paid above the current price, as it suggests they saw value, even at higher levels.

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. A high insider ownership often makes company leadership more mindful of shareholder interests. PSC Insurance Group insiders own about AU$356m worth of shares (which is 56% of the company). This kind of significant ownership by insiders does generally increase the chance that the company is run in the interest of all shareholders.
