In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when Founder Keith John bought AU$137k worth of shares at a price of AU$0.49 per share.

Does Pioneer Credit Boast High Insider Ownership?

Looking at the total insider shareholdings in a company can help to inform your view of whether they are well aligned with common shareholders.

We've certainly seen higher levels of insider ownership elsewhere, but these holdings are enough to suggest alignment between insiders and the other shareholders.
