Caterpillar Insider Trades History
Less than 1% of Caterpillar are currently held by insiders. Unlike Caterpillar's institutional investors, corporate insiders most likely have a limit on the maximum percentage of share ownership. This is done to align insiders' influence against Caterpillar's private investors even though both sides will benefit from rising prices or experience loss when the share price declines. The good rule to have in mind is that the maximum share ownership percentage of the corporate insiders should not surpass 25%. View all of Caterpillar's insider trades
Caterpillar Stock Institutional Investors
Have you ever been surprised when a price of an equity instrument such as Caterpillar is soaring high without any particular reason? This is usually happening because many institutional investors are aggressively trading Caterpillar backward and forwards among themselves. Caterpillar's institutional investor refers to the entity that pools money to purchase Caterpillar's securities or originate loans. Institutional investors include commercial and private banks, credit unions, insurance companies, pension funds, hedge funds, endowments, and mutual funds. Operating companies that invest excess capital in these types of assets may also be included in the term and may influence corporate governance by exercising voting rights in their investments.

Caterpillar Insider Trading Activities
Some recent studies suggest that insider trading raises the cost of capital for securities issuers and decreases overall economic growth. Trading by specific Caterpillar insiders, such as employees or executives, is commonly permitted as long as it does not rely on Caterpillar's material information that is not in the public domain. Local jurisdictions usually require such trading to be reported in order to monitor insider transactions. In many U.S. states, trading conducted by corporate officers, key employees, directors, or significant shareholders must be reported to the regulator or publicly disclosed, usually within a few business days of the trade. In these cases Caterpillar insiders are required to file a Form 4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) when buying or selling shares of their own companies.
