<h3>Navigating the Impact of Insider Transactions on Investments</h3>
Insider transactions should be considered alongside other factors when making investment decisions, as they can offer important insights.
In the realm of legality, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.

HSBC, meanwhile, on Jan.6, named Lisa McGeough as President and CEO for the United States.
