Summary
Company insiders, including executives, directors, and large shareholders, are required to report purchases of their own company’s shares. Each Monday, our model identifies 10 companies and constructs an equal-weighted portfolio, selecting primarily based on the value of recent open-market insider purchases, combined with other signals we track. The methodology is continuously refined as we learn more from the data.

Questions about Insiders
Insiders is a model portfolio that Quantral tracks: the 10 companies where insiders spent the most of their own money. It is based on insider buys from SEC filings, holds 10 stocks, equal weight, and updates weekly, Mondays before the US open. We measure it against the S&P 500 (SPY, dividends included), before trading costs.
No. Insiders is a tracked model portfolio: a record of how its list has done, not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold anything. This list is information from public SEC filings, not investment advice. Past results don't predict future ones.
In the Quantral app, on the web, iOS and Android, and through Quantral's MCP server in Claude or ChatGPT. The app shows the current list, what came in and went out in the latest update, and the week-by-week record. Strategies are for paid subscribers, and plans start with a 7-day free trial.
Before a strategy goes live, we run its rule over past weeks to show how the list would have done. We computed those weeks after the fact, so they carry hindsight that the live record does not. The chart marks where the live record starts.

Returns and stats are before trading costs. Broker fees, currency conversion and price spreads would lower them; at about 0.1% per buy or sell and this strategy's weekly changes, that is roughly 2.3% a year. All 108 weeks are a hypothetical backtest, computed after the fact with a rule chosen using the same history, and don't reflect actual trading. This list is information from public SEC filings, not investment advice. Past results don't predict future ones.
