Sisäänostettu

Sisäänostettu is a Finnish word that translates to "insider trading" in English. It refers to the illegal practice of buying or selling a publicly traded company's stock or other securities based on material, non-public information about that company. This type of trading is considered unfair because it gives the insider an advantage over other investors who do not have access to the same information.

The concept of insider trading is regulated in many countries, including Finland. Laws are in place to prevent individuals from profiting from confidential information. These regulations aim to maintain a fair and transparent stock market where all investors have an equal opportunity. Penalties for insider trading can be severe, including substantial fines and imprisonment.

Material non-public information typically includes details such as upcoming mergers or acquisitions, significant financial results before they are released to the public, or major product developments. Individuals who possess such information are prohibited from trading on it or tipping off others to do so. The enforcement of insider trading laws is a key function of financial regulatory bodies. The goal is to uphold investor confidence and the integrity of the financial markets.
