Close Brothers Group plc: what insiders have been doing
This page follows insider dealings at Close Brothers Group plc as filed with RNS (LSE), a company from the Banks sector. From 21 October 2025 to 21 October 2026, the disclosure feed for Close Brothers Group plc logged 79 filings by 17 insiders.
Both sides are active: 5 purchases worth €128k and 8 sales worth €259k, from 5 insiders and 7 insiders respectively. The totals exclude 1 filing filed without an amount. Buying on the open market means paying the going price with one's own funds, a different act from receiving shares as pay. Biggest ticket of the year: €85k, sold by Rebekah Etherington and made public on 7 October 2026 (0.012% of market cap). On the buying side, the filings list 4 board members and 1 chief executive among the declarants.
Across the 831 companies tracked on its exchange, the median is 6 filings; at 79 filings, this issuer sits above that mark. Over the whole record (from 2015), the tally stands at 25 purchases and 67 sales.
Within a 30-day window, 5 purchases overlapped with buying by a second insider. A cluster is several different insiders buying the same stock within a short window, a pattern studied more closely than a single purchase. The most recent open-market purchase was published on 14 April 2026, 190 days ago. The median gap between a trade and its publication by RNS (LSE) is 2 days. The regulation allows three business days to notify a trade (UK MAR). Sales are harder to read than purchases, since they often meet personal needs such as tax or diversification.
Other companies in the same sector with recent insider buying flagged by our signals: First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. and Presurance Holdings, Inc. Source: insider filings from RNS (LSE). Past trades are no guide to future returns.
