The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At AvePoint
In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when Independent Director Jeffrey Epstein bought US$500k worth of shares at a price of US$10.00 per share. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at above the current price of US$4.79. Their view may have changed since then, but at least it shows they felt optimistic at the time. We always take careful note of the price insiders pay when purchasing 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. Jeffrey Epstein was the only individual insider to buy shares in the last twelve months.

AvePoint insiders own 37% of the company, currently worth about US$329m based on the recent share price. I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.
