Questions people ask
What is a Directors' Dealings notification?
A Directors' Dealings notification is the disclosure a person discharging managerial responsibilities, or a closely associated person, files when transacting in their own company's securities in Germany. It falls under Article 19 of EU MAR and must be published within three business days of the transaction.
When must a Directors' Dealings notification be published?
Within three business days of the transaction, as required by Article 19 of EU MAR. The publication timestamp, not the transaction date, is what InsiderScope treats as the start of a signal.
Where does BaFin publish Eigengeschäfte von Führungskräften?
Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht publishes them on its own official disclosure channel, which is the only source InsiderScope reads for Germany. No aggregator or third-party feed sits in between.
How do I track Eigengeschäfte von Führungskräften in Germany?
Filter the screener to Germany to see each published disclosure with its band, or set an alert on a company or insider. Every field is normalised to the same schema used for the other jurisdictions in scope.
Does InsiderScope grade every BaFin filing?
No. A filing is graded only when the source is live and the disclosure carries the fields the characterisation needs. Anything else stays visible as unscored rather than being quietly dropped.
Can Germany disclosures be compared with other markets?
Yes. BaFin filings are mapped into the same schema and the same Score A to Score D scale as the other 11 regulators, so a Germany disclosure and a US Form 4 are described on identical terms.
