How to use Insider Trades?

Insider Trades shows the trades made by substantial shareholders or directors of the company. Company buying back its own share is also recorded here. Insider Trades can be switched between stocks in Bursa Malaysia and Singapore Exchange (SGX). You can search for the stock counter to view its largest value traded and latest insider trades.

The examples below are the largest value traded for Maybank.

With insider trading information, you can also view the most recent transactions made by a specific shareholder. For instance, as shown below, the Employees Provident Fund Board made significant purchases and sales of Maybank shares. The table provides details on the number of shares acquired and disposed of, as well as the closing price for each insider trade transaction. For more in-depth information, simply click on the “note” to learn more.

You can also search by buyer or seller name to view their insider trade details. For example, Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited (“Temasek”) acquired shares of CapLand Ascott T and Keppel in August 2024. Simply type the shareholder’s name into the search box and hit enter. We’ll also display the shareholder’s relationship with the company.
