There has been a German study made about insider ownership that reached the following conclusion:
Using a data set of 245 companies for the year 2003 we find evidence for a positive and significant relationship between corporate performance, as measured by stock price performance as well as by Tobin's Q, and insider ownership. This relationship seems to be rather robust. Specifically, the sign and significance of the relationship does not change, even if we account for endogeneity by applying a 2SLS regression approach. Moreover, we also find outside block ownership as well as more concentrated insider ownership to have a positive impact on corporate performance. Overall the results indicate that ownership structure might be an important variable explaining the long term value creation in the corporate sector.

"As at December 31, 2012 the fair value of the Corporation’s investment portfolio was $20,529 as compared to $35,992 as at December 31, 2011 (a 42.96% decrease) and shareholders’ equity and minority interest was $34,360 compared to $55,344 as at December 31, 2011 (a 37.92% decrease). These significant decreases are virtually solely the result of the declines in the market value of our portfolio of public company shares and is reflective of the severe declines discussed above."
