Innospec Insider Trading Activities

Some recent studies suggest that insider trading raises the cost of capital for securities issuers and decreases overall economic growth. Trading by specific Innospec insiders, such as employees or executives, is commonly permitted as long as it does not rely on Innospec's material information that is not in the public domain. Local jurisdictions usually require such trading to be reported in order to monitor insider transactions.

The correlation of Innospec is a statistical measure of how it moves in relation to other instruments. This measure is expressed in what is known as the correlation coefficient, which ranges between -1 and +1.

Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if Innospec moves in either direction, the perfectly negatively correlated security will move in the opposite direction. If the correlation is 0, the equities are not correlated; they are entirely random. A correlation greater than 0.8 is generally described as strong, whereas a correlation less than 0.5 is generally considered weak.
