Featured below are companies that have experienced recent insider trading activity in the public market through their direct and indirect ownerships, including accounts they have control or direction over.

The list features insider transaction activity; it does not convey total ownership information as an insider may hold numerous accounts.

Keep in mind, when looking at transaction activities by insiders, purchasing activity may reflect perceived value in a security. Selling activity may or may not be related to a stock’s valuation; perhaps an insider needs to raise money for personal reasons. An insider’s total holdings should be considered because a sale may, in context, be insignificant if this person has a large remaining position in the company. I tend to put great weight on insider transaction activity when I see multiple insiders trading a company’s shares or units.

Listed below are three securities that have had recent insider buying activity.

Nexus Real Estate Investment Trust (NXR-UN-X)

On July 2, chairman Lorne Jacobson purchased 100,000 units at a cost per unit of $1.97, increasing his account’s holdings to 167,748 units.

The real estate investment trust (REIT) pays its unitholders a monthly distribution of 1.333 cents per unit or 16 cents per unit yearly. This equates to an annualized yield of just over 8 per cent.
