All filings by Alexander Black on record concern Polar Capital Holdings plc. The record holds 28 filings, for trades running from 11 July 2022 to 17 August 2026.

In open-market terms, that means 9 purchases worth €356k on one side and 13 sales worth €2.2M on the other. The totals do not cover 7 filings with an undisclosed amount. Open-market purchases are the filings investors watch most closely, because the insider pays for the shares out of pocket. Besides market trades, the filings include 6 share grants. 2026 to date brings 2 purchases and 4 sales.

In size, the median ticket on the buying side is €138k. 3 out of 8 purchases came within 30 days of a purchase by at least one other insider of the same company. When several insiders buy within a few weeks of each other, analysts speak of a cluster purchase. Ninety days after publication, 3 purchases show a median change of +8.3%, with the price up in 67% of them. Past outcomes like these are no guarantee of what comes next.

On 17 August 2026 came the latest disclosure, an open-market sale for €306k in Polar Capital Holdings plc. The most recent open-market purchase was published on 21 July 2026, 88 days ago. Between a trade and the moment it shows up on RNS (LSE), the median delay is 2 days. The regulation allows three business days to notify a trade (UK MAR). A sale on its own says little: insiders also sell to pay tax, fund a purchase or diversify. Source: insider filings from RNS (LSE). Past trades are no guide to future returns.
