As the UK market grapples with global economic uncertainties, particularly influenced by China's sluggish recovery from the pandemic, investors are closely monitoring how these conditions impact indices like the FTSE 100 and FTSE 250. In such a climate, growth companies with high insider ownership can often provide a sense of stability and confidence, as significant insider stakes may indicate strong belief in their long-term potential despite broader market challenges.
