Director dealings and major holdings (TR1)
IN SHORTDirectors must announce when they buy or sell shares, and big investors must announce when their holdings cross set levels. These announcements show who is buying and selling.
Directors and other senior managers (PDMRs, persons discharging managerial responsibilities) must announce their share dealings. A director buying with their own money can be a sign of confidence. Selling can mean many things, such as paying a tax bill.
In UK companies, investors must announce when their holding crosses certain levels, starting at 3% and then every whole percentage point. These are TR1 notices, often titled Holding(s) in Company.
KEY POINTOne trade proves little. Look for patterns: several directors buying, or a large investor steadily building a stake.
