Context
Grantor-retained annuity trusts (GRATs) are commonly used for estate-planning purposes to transfer potential future appreciation out of an estate; such transfers are not the same as open-market sales or purchases and do not, by themselves, signal insider bullish/bearish trading. The filing records the transfers as gifts (no cash proceeds).
