The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Residential Secure Income

In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when Senior Independent Director of ReSI Capital Management Limited Robert Gray bought UK£55k worth of shares at a price of UK£1.11 per share. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at above the current price of UK£1.03. Their view may have changed since then, but at least it shows they felt optimistic at the time. To us, it's very important to consider the price insiders pay for shares. Generally speaking, it catches our eye when an insider has purchased shares at above current prices, as it suggests they believed the shares were worth buying, even at a higher price. Robert Gray was the only individual insider to buy during the last year.
