Abstract

The purpose of this literature revision is to systematically review and analyse the current research on the effects of future firm performance and corporate governance on insider trading with the interaction of information asymmetry following the preferred reporting item guidelines (PRISMA). This study synthesises 25 journal articles published between 2005 and 2020. The abnormal returns earned from insiders' trades are primarily tied to preferential and favourable superior private information about firms' future performance. In addition, insiders generate significant abnormal returns in the companies with weak corporate governance rules. This review also reveals that the interaction of information asymmetry influences the relationship between future firm performance and insider trading and the relationship between corporate governance and insider trading. Hence, this study emphasises related asymmetric information conditions that lead to greater involvement in insider trading to earn abnormal profit. However, corporate governance contributes to the deterrence of insider trading. This study provides valuable information to assist market participants in the stock market.
