Wuxi Life International Holdings Group Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when insider Dong Zhang bought HK$2.5m worth of shares at a price of HK$0.021 per share. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at around the current price of HK$0.023. While their view may have changed since the purchase was made, this does at least suggest they have had confidence in the company's future.

I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. Wuxi Life International Holdings Group insiders own about HK$27m worth of shares (which is 92% of the company). I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.
