Over the last year, a good number of insiders have significantly increased their holdings in Bravura Solutions Limited (ASX:BVS). This is encouraging because it indicates that insiders are more optimistic about the company's prospects.

While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, we would consider it foolish to ignore insider transactions altogether.
