Insider Ownership
Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own. We usually like to see fairly high levels of insider ownership. Silver Touch Technologies insiders own about ₹6.6b worth of shares (which is 80% of the company). I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.
