The definition of company insiders can be subjective and does vary between jurisdictions. Our data reflects individual insiders, capturing board members at the very least. Management ultimately answers to the board. However, it is not uncommon for managers to be executive board members, especially if they are a founder or the CEO.
Most consider insider ownership a positive because it can indicate the board is well aligned with other shareholders. However, on some occasions too much power is concentrated within this group.
It seems insiders own a significant proportion of Suzhou Industrial Park Heshun Electric Co., Ltd.. It has a market capitalization of just CN¥2.3b, and insiders have CN¥775m worth of shares in their own names. This may suggest that the founders still own a lot of shares.
