Bill Gates filed multiple purchases in RSG (Republic Services) in early September, disclosed on 1 to 3 September. The three open-market buys totalled roughly $94M, picking up around 424,000 shares at prices between $220 and $224. Gates holds these through a major-shareholder vehicle. These are discretionary purchases, which carry stronger conviction than pre-planned sales.
In Hong Kong, the founding family vehicle Viva China Holdings filed three separate buys in Li Ning worth a combined $131M between 27 August and 2 September. The purchases, disclosed 2 to 7 September, came at prices near HK$13 to HK$14, adding roughly 76 million shares. A controlling shareholder buying repeatedly in a tight window is one of the stronger signals in insider data.
Shenzhou International's Executive Chairman Ma Jianrong filed a $25.8M open-market purchase on 1 September, disclosed 3 September. He bought 5.6 million shares at around HK$36. A chairman buying personally at scale stands out.
On the sell side, JPMorgan filed disposals in several Hong Kong names including Kingdee International and Sunny Optical, both on 2 September. These reflect routine 5%-owner threshold filings rather than directional conviction, so they carry limited signal.
Note: the EDGAR Form 4 tables for US stocks were unavailable in this environment, so US open-market C-suite trades and Schedule 13D activist filings could not be retrieved. The trades above draw on the vendor insider dataset, which covers non-US markets most fully, with data current to 8 September 2026.
