As we enter 2025, global markets have shown a mixed performance with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite closing out another strong year despite some end-of-year volatility. This backdrop of fluctuating indices and economic uncertainty highlights the importance of identifying growth companies with high insider ownership as they often signal confidence from those closest to the business, potentially offering resilience in uncertain times.
