|---|
| Buys | [X] | $[X]M | [Names + Titles] |
| Sells | [X] | $[X]M | [Names + Titles] |
| Option Exercises | [X] | $[X]M | — |
- Cluster analysis: "Insider buying clustered around [date range], suggesting [interpretation]"
- Largest individual transaction: "[Name], [Title] [bought/sold] [X] shares ($[X]M) on [date]"
Step 2: Institutional Ownership
Tool: institutional_holdings_analyzer
Query: Current institutional ownership — top holders, quarterly changes, concentration metrics
Present:
- Ownership summary: "[X]% institutionally owned, [Y] institutions reporting positions"
- Top 10 holders table:
| Rank | Institution | Shares | Value | % Outstanding | Change vs Prior Q |
|---|
| 1 | [Name] | [X]M | $[X]M | [X]% | [+/-X]% |
- Concentration: "Top 5 holders control [X]% of institutional ownership"
- Net quarterly flow: "Institutions were net [buyers / sellers] of [X]M shares in Q[X]"

"Here's the complete insider and institutional ownership picture. I can:
- Cross-reference with price action (correlate insider trades with stock price movements)

- Generate ownership summary for IC (structured Investment Committee format)
Which would be most useful?"
Step 3a: Price Action Cross-Reference (if user chooses)
Tool: insider_trading_analyzer

Query: Ownership metrics for 3-5 peer companies
Present:
- Comparison table: institutional ownership %, insider ownership %, top holder concentration
- Relative positioning: "Institutional ownership is [above / below / in line with] sector average of [X]%"
Step 3c: IC Ownership Summary (if user chooses)
