The United Kingdom market has experienced a flat performance over the last week but has seen a 6.6% increase over the past year, with earnings projected to grow by 14% annually. In light of these conditions, growth companies with high insider ownership can be appealing as they often indicate strong management confidence and alignment with shareholder interests.
