As the UK market grapples with the impact of weak trade data from China, reflected in the recent faltering of the FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 indices, investors are increasingly scrutinizing growth stocks that can weather global economic uncertainties. In this environment, companies with high insider ownership often signal a strong alignment between management and shareholder interests, potentially offering resilience and long-term growth opportunities amidst broader market volatility.
