Insider Ownership Of Tianli Education International Holdings

The definition of an insider can differ slightly between different countries, but members of the board of directors always count. The company management answer to the board; and the latter should represent the interests of shareholders. Notably, sometimes top-level managers are on the board, themselves.

I generally consider insider ownership to be a good thing. However, on some occasions it makes it more difficult for other shareholders to hold the board accountable for decisions.

Our most recent data indicates that insiders own a reasonable proportion of Tianli Education International Holdings Limited. Insiders have a HK$2.8b stake in this HK$6.7b business. I would say this shows alignment with shareholders, but it is worth noting that the company is still quite small; some insiders may have founded the business.
