Gresham House non-exec buys shares ahead of jump
A round-up of the biggest director buys today so far.
Stephen Ackerman, a non-executive at Gresham House, made a handsome profit on shares he bought on the same day the investment trust issued its results.
He bought 5,000 shares at 329p a go, paying a total of £16,450, ahead of an 8.5% rise in the shares that saw them close at 345p.
