Lord Peter Cruddas, the founder and Chief Executive Officer of CMC Markets, has announced his intention to invest up to £5 million in the London-listed brokerage firm's shares. As part of this plan, Cruddas completed an initial purchase of 23,011 ordinary shares at just over 604 pence per share on Friday, totaling approximately £139,000. This leaves up to £4.86 million available for future open-market transactions, although the company emphasized that this represents current intent rather than a binding legal commitment.
