Insider Ownership Of Reco International Group

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. Company management run the business, but the CEO will answer to the board, even if he or she is a member of it.

Insider ownership is positive when it signals leadership are thinking like the true owners of the company. However, high insider ownership can also give immense power to a small group within the company. This can be negative in some circumstances.

Our information suggests that insiders own more than half of Reco International Group Inc.. This gives them effective control of the company. That means they own CA$414k worth of shares in the CA$769k company. That's quite meaningful. Most would be pleased to see the board is investing alongside them.
