Insider trading is the trading of a public company’s stock or other securities (such as bonds or stock options) by individuals with access to nonpublic information about the company. Insider trading is illegal because it gives the insider an unfair advantage in the market, puts the interests of the insider above those to whom he or she owes a fiduciary duty, and allows an insider to artificially influence the value of a company’s stocks. Aretec’s client possessed powerful data analysis tools to detect suspicious patterns that detect the improbable success of trades in advance of earnings announcements. Our client had a requirement to further enhance their quantitative analysis capabilities by having their robust insider trading analysis toolkit, written in R, interface with the presentation layer of an Aretec developed platform.
