Power Financial Corp. joined the 50-stock INK Canadian Insider Index on Friday with the semi-annual rebalancing. The bulk of Power Financial profits in 2018 came from the insurance area at 73 per cent, followed by 21 per cent from wealth management and 6 per cent from other businesses.
Relatively attractive valuations, such as a prospective dividend yield of about 5.6 per cent and strong price momentum, have helped the stock make it into the index.
Importantly, insider commitment is high with a director spending $100,015 buying shares in September.
