Oakley Capital Investments Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

Notably, that recent purchase by Co-Founder Peter Adam Dubens was not the only time they bought Oakley Capital Investments shares this year. Earlier in the year, they paid UK£4.68 per share in a UK£1.4m purchase. That implies that an insider found the current price of UK£4.73 per share to be enticing. Of course they may have changed their mind. But this suggests they are optimistic. We do always like to see insider buying, but it is worth noting if those purchases were made at well below today's share price, as the discount to value may have narrowed with the rising price. In this case we're pleased to report that the insider purchases were made at close to current prices.
