John Phizackerley purchased 151,964 shares at an individual price of 455p for a total transaction amount of £691,436.23 on 3 April, the company said in an announcement.
On 14 March, the provider of broking services posted full-year underlying profits of £131.5m, up from £107.9m in 2015, while revenue rose to £891m from £796m.
That prompted analysts at Numis to bump up their target for the shares from 525p to 540p, telling clients "we believe the increased probability of further US rate rises and a steepening yield curve should be very positive for the Group."
Nevertheless, the same broker downgraded its recommendation from 'Buy' to 'Add' following their recent strong run.
