sisäpiiritiedolla

Sisäpiiritiedolla refers to information that has not been made public and that relates to one or more issuers of financial instruments or to one or more financial instruments. This information, if it were made public, would likely have a significant effect on the price of those financial instruments or related derivative financial instruments.

Possession of such information implies that the individual is aware of its non-public nature and its potential price-sensitivity. This type of information typically arises from an individual's professional or social relationship with the issuer, such as being an employee, director, or major shareholder, or through access gained during business dealings like mergers, acquisitions, or financial audits.

The use of sisäpiiritiedolla for trading purposes is strictly regulated in most financial markets to ensure fairness and market integrity. Trading on inside information is considered a form of market abuse, specifically insider dealing. Regulations aim to prevent individuals from gaining an unfair advantage over other market participants who do not possess the same privileged information.

Sanctions for engaging in insider dealing can be severe, including substantial fines, imprisonment, and bans from participating in financial markets. Companies also have obligations to prevent the misuse of inside information and to disclose it to the public in a timely and orderly manner when appropriate. The strictness of these regulations underscores the importance of maintaining a level playing field for all investors.
