Insider Income Investing

Investors seeking to capture high levels of current income with low sensitivity to changes in market interest rates can accomplish these goals by investing in short-term bonds issued by companies with an above-average level of insider buying activity. Utilizing publicly available insider trading information filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), quantitative screening techniques can be used to help investors identify companies that are extraordinarily well-capitalized (more current assets than total liabilities) as potential selections to be included as part of a multi-faceted portfolio strategy.
