Legislation prohibits insider trading to ensure that individuals with access to non-public information handle it responsibly and do not exploit it for personal gain.

Understanding what constitutes inside information and the legal restrictions surrounding its use is crucial for any employee working at a publicly listed company. Violations of insider trading laws carry severe penalties, including substantial fines and potential imprisonment.
