Montanaro European Smaller Companies Trust plc: what insiders have been doing
Every trade that managers of Montanaro European Smaller Companies Trust plc disclose to RNS (LSE) is tracked on this page. The company sits in the Banks sector. The last twelve months, up to 22 October 2026, brought 8 filings signed by 3 insiders.
Not one open-market sale was filed. On the buying side, 3 insiders reported 3 purchases totalling €131k. Buying on the open market means paying the going price with one's own funds, a different act from receiving shares as pay. The buyers include 3 senior executives. One trade stands out by size: a purchase of €114k from Gordon Neilly, disclosed on 30 March 2026.
Compared with its exchange (832 companies, median 6 filings), a count of 8 filings is above the norm. Since 2018, the database holds 11 purchases and 1 sale by insiders of the company.
In all, 2 purchases were made within 30 days of a purchase by another insider of the company. When several insiders buy within a few weeks of each other, analysts speak of a cluster purchase. The most recent open-market purchase was published on 30 March 2026, 223 days ago. The median gap between trade and publication is zero days: most filings appear on the same day. The legal deadline for notifying a trade is three business days (UK MAR).
Every figure here comes from the filings published by RNS (LSE) and describes the past, not future prices; it is not investment advice.
