As the UK market grapples with the ripple effects of weak trade data from China, reflected in the recent declines of both the FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 indices, investors are increasingly looking for resilient opportunities amid global economic uncertainties. In such a climate, growth companies with high insider ownership can be particularly appealing, as they often signal strong internal confidence and alignment between management and shareholders.
