Every director dealing in Europe, in one feed.

Director dealings are trades in a listed company's own shares by the people who run it — the directors, C-suite officers, and other senior managers with access to inside information. In EU and UK law they're formally called PDMR transactions (Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities). Every such trade, plus trades by their spouses, dependent children and controlled entities, must be publicly disclosed within three business days.

No — both refer to the same thing. 'Directors' dealings' is the older FCA/UK-market phrasing; 'director dealings' is the same concept stripped of the apostrophe. Continental Europe tends to use 'managers' transactions' or 'insider transactions' in translation, but the substance is identical.

UK MAR — the onshored version of EU Regulation 596/2014 that survived Brexit — continues to require every PDMR trade to be disclosed to the issuer and the FCA within three business days. Filings are published via the FCA's National Storage Mechanism and companies usually also release them through the LSE's Regulatory News Service under category code DSH.

Article 19 of the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR, Regulation 596/2014), in force since 3 July 2016. It applies across the entire European Economic Area — the EU-27 plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. Each country's national competent authority runs its own filings register: BaFin in Germany, Finansinspektionen in Sweden, AMF in France, CNMV in Spain, Consob in Italy, and so on.

The rules are wider than board members. PDMRs include executive and non-executive directors, members of any management or supervisory body, and senior executives with regular access to inside information and decision-making power over the business. The disclosure net also extends to 'closely associated persons' — spouses, civil partners, dependent children, relatives sharing a household for 12+ months, and any company or trust the PDMR controls.

Yes — the €5,000 aggregate-per-calendar-year floor in MAR Article 19. Most national regulators, including the FCA, have used the option to raise it to €20,000. Trades below the threshold don't have to be reported until they cross it in aggregate across the year.

Insiders know the business better than any outside analyst — they see pipeline, hiring, customer renewals, and internal forecasts. Decades of academic research (Lakonishok & Lee 2001; Cohen, Malloy & Pomorski 2012) show that insider purchases predict abnormal returns of 4–11% per year over the following 12 months, with the signal concentrated in a subset of 'opportunistic' insiders rather than spread evenly. Sales are a much weaker signal because they have tax, diversification and option-vesting motivations.

We aggregate disclosures from every European regulator into a single searchable feed. Every insider is deduplicated across filings, ranked by the historical forward returns of their own buys (Bayesian-shrunk so a lucky streak doesn't top the board), and pushed to subscribers via weekly digest and real-time alerts. Free tier covers browsing the full dataset; the paid tier unlocks alerts, CSV exports, and API access.
