Form 55-102F4 (Insider Report)
Form 55-102F4 — usually just called "the insider report" — is the standardized report Canadian reporting insiders file through SEDI to disclose trades in securities of their company. It's also where Form55 gets its name.
Form 55-102F4 is the prescribed insider report form filed electronically through SEDI. The "55" refers to the family of Canadian securities rules covering insider reporting and disclosure, and "F4" identifies it as the fourth form schedule in that set — the one used for reporting an insider's trades.
A Form 55-102F4 filing identifies the insider, their relationship to the issuer (e.g. director, CEO, 10%+ shareholder), the security being reported, the nature of the transaction, the date, the number of securities, the price, and the insider's resulting holdings.
An insider's first SEDI filing — an "initial report" made when they become a reporting insider — discloses their existing holdings. Every subsequent trade is reported on a new Form 55-102F4 within 5 calendar days.
Form55 takes its name from this form because it sits at the centre of the platform's thesis: every Canadian insider trade ultimately traces back to one of these filings, and reading them alongside lobbying and government contract data is what the Signal Score is built to do.
