Director Grillo buys 2,500 shares of Western Asset High Income Fund II (HIX) at $4.14
Director Anthony Grillo purchased 2,500 shares of Western Asset High Income Fund II at $4.14 on 2025-05-27 for a total value of $10,350.00, establishing an initial position in the fund. The purchase occurred near the upper half of the stock's 52-week range ($3.75–$4.53) and represents a new holding following zero prior shares. However, Grillo's cross-ticker insider trading track record presents a concerning pattern: across 17 prior open-market buys, his average 90-day return was -18.4% with a 0.00% win rate, indicating that positions initiated by this insider have consistently underperformed over a three-month horizon. This transaction warrants scrutiny against the established pattern of poor post-purchase returns in the insider's historical activity.
