Questions people ask
What is a PDMR notification?
A PDMR notification is the disclosure a person discharging managerial responsibilities, or a closely associated person, files when transacting in their own company's securities in United Kingdom. It falls under Article 19 of UK MAR and must be published within three business days of the transaction.
When must a PDMR notification be published?
Within three business days of the transaction, as required by Article 19 of UK MAR. The publication timestamp, not the transaction date, is what InsiderScope treats as the start of a signal.
Where does FCA publish directors' dealings?
Financial Conduct Authority publishes them on its own official disclosure channel, which is the only source InsiderScope reads for United Kingdom. No aggregator or third-party feed sits in between.
How do I track directors' dealings in United Kingdom?
Filter the screener to United Kingdom 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 FCA 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 United Kingdom disclosures be compared with other markets?
Yes. FCA filings are mapped into the same schema and the same Score A to Score D scale as the other 11 regulators, so a United Kingdom disclosure and a US Form 4 are described on identical terms.
