As the Australian market braces for the Reserve Bank's first interest rate decision of the year, investor sentiment remains cautious, with ASX 200 futures pointing to a lower open amid global economic uncertainties. In such a climate, growth companies with high insider ownership can offer a unique appeal; they often signal confidence from those closest to the business and may provide resilience against broader market fluctuations.
