Director Thomas Kadlec buys 503 FMY shares at $12.04; position raised 45.2% to 1,616 shares.
Director Thomas Kadlec purchased 503 shares of First Trust Mortgage Income Fund at $12.04 on 2025-10-31, increasing his holdings by 45.2% from 1,113 to 1,616 shares. The transaction occurred within the 52-week price range ($11.64–$12.42), modestly above current price of $11.94. This represents his second purchase at FMY within the month of October, following a buy of 30 shares on 2025-10-10. While the successive purchases suggest ongoing accumulation, the small absolute dollar value ($6.1K) and limited cross-ticker track record of 1 prior buy provide limited evidence of a broad conviction signal or market-timing pattern.
Director KADLEC THOMAS R buys 242 shares of FMY at $12.20; holdings rise 27.8% to 1,113 shares
KADLEC purchased 242 shares at $12.20 on 2025-10-10, increasing his position from 871 to 1,113 shares — a 27.8% increase in holdings. The transaction value was $2,952.40. The current price of $12.24 is -1.4% from the 52-week high of $12.42, placing the purchase near recent highs. The buy occurred in a context of modest price stability: 30-day change of -0.6% and 90-day change of +0.2%. As a director's discretionary open-market purchase, this represents a commitment of capital into the fund, though the modest absolute size and proximity to recent highs provide limited directional signal.
