No officer or director trades were reported for the past 30 days. The most recent before that:

Sep 2, 2026John Doyle sold 17K shares ($3.1M) under a disclosed trading plan. That is 12% of the total stake held that day. 17K shares came in from vesting or option exercises the same day, so the holding rose by 0 net.

"% of total stake" is the shares in this event against all the vested shares the person held that day, across every share class and holding entity, after that day's vesting. "n/a" means the person's holdings don't reconcile, or the row is a purchase. "Holdings record incomplete" means more shares were sold than the filings show the person held that day, so a percentage would be wrong.

Is this normal? Less than usual: about a third of the 5-year average. 7 insiders sold; the average is 7 a year. Year by year

What stands out

Lloyd Yates sold 35% of vested holdings: 12K shares for $2.1M, none under a disclosed plan.Largest sale, Jul 23, 2026
Two officers sold $3.0M with no disclosed plan: John Jones ($1.7M) and Martin South ($1.3M). The filings don't state a reason.John Jones: largest such sale, Aug 6, 2026 · Martin South: largest such sale, Jul 28, 2026
Nicholas Studer sold 3.8K shares (14% of starting holdings), but 8K more vested, so the stake grew (from 28K to 33K).Largest sale, Mar 3, 2026

Percentages cover 19 of 25 officers and directors. 6 are left out

i
Left out: John Doyle, Martin South, Paul Beswick and Katherine Brennan (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead); John Jones (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled); Peter Harrison (held no vested shares at the start).
Disclosed company stock is not an insider's whole wealth.

Who sold, and how much of their stake

Officers and directors, past 12 months. Each bar is 100% of that person's own stake; not comparable between people. The stake is the vested shares held at the start of the period (Oct 9, 2025); the gold part is what they sold.

Common questions

Is the Marsh McLennan CEO selling stock?

Yes. John Doyle sold 71K shares ($12.7M) in the past 12 months, all of it under a trading plan disclosed in the filings.

Why are Marsh McLennan insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 68% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings, 4% were to cover taxes and 28% had no disclosed plan. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any Marsh McLennan insiders buying?

No. Officers and directors reported no purchases in the past 12 months.

How much of their stake did Marsh McLennan insiders sell?

About 3.8% overall. As a group they ended with more shares than they started with. The biggest seller whose stake can be measured, Lloyd Yates, gave up 35% of starting holdings. That covers the 12 months to Oct 9, 2026 and counts vested shares reported on SEC Forms 3, 4 and 5, which is not an insider's whole wealth.

24 of 25 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (20 exactly, 4 with a minor or footnoted difference). For 1 we show sales but not holdings; the ! icon on that row explains why. Percentages cover 19 of 25 officers and directors. Left out: John Doyle, Martin South, Paul Beswick and Katherine Brennan (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead); John Jones (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled); Peter Harrison (held no vested shares at the start). "Still held" compares ending with starting vested shares; a plus sign means the holding grew.

What explains the selling$18.9M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $18.9M across 104,755 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

By plan status

The lighter segment is sales with no plan disclosed in the filing ($6.0M), including tax-related sales outside a plan.

No plan disclosed · $5.3M

Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $2.1M of it is Lloyd Yates. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: Lloyd Yates, Jul 23, 2026

Taxes

$706K of sales (3.7%) cite tax obligations in their footnotes. Separately, 69,468 shares ($13.0M) were withheld by the company for taxes, which isn't a market sale. Example: Nicholas Studer, Mar 3, 2026

Open-market sales (Form 4 code S) by people who were officers or directors, in split-adjusted shares. Earlier years include people who have since left. A sale that an outside holder also reports (a family trust, a fund) is counted with outside holders in every year. Shares, not dollars, are compared, so a change in the stock price doesn't look like a change in selling. Years the filings don't fully cover are shown but left out of the average.

Known gaps and uncertainty1 insider whose holdings couldn't be fully reconciled

John Jones: holdings couldn't be fully reconciled (difference of 140 shares). Balance changed without a matching transaction, and the footnote does not state the amount: +74.808 shares on Feb 28, 2026 (MMC 401(k) Savings & Investment Plan). Filing, Feb 28, 2026

Footnote: "Reflects shares acquired by the Marsh & McLennan Companies 401(k) Savings & Investment Plan (SIP) Custodian at prevailing market prices. Information reported herein is based on reporting person's Plan Statement as of February 28, 2026."

Dean Klisura: minor difference of 30 shares. Difference is under 0.5% of holdings.

Anthony Anderson: minor difference of 14 shares. Difference is under 0.5% of holdings.

Martin South: minor difference of 199 shares. Small increase from an employee stock purchase plan.

Carmen Fernandez: minor difference of 7 shares. Difference is under 0.5% of holdings.

Inferred rename: "STOCK INVESTMENT PLAN (401K)" is treated as the same holder as "Stock Investment Plan (401(k))", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (436 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred rename: "Stock Investment Plan 401(k)" is treated as the same holder as "MMC 401(k) Savings & Investment Plan", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (7 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred typo: the share class "DIRECTORS STK PLAN RS UNITS" is treated as the same class as "DIRECTORS STOCK PLAN RS UNITS" on 6 holding lines, because the two spellings are nearly identical and each balance carried over exactly. Example (Stephen Hardis, 16,163 shares): old title, new title

Inferred typo: the share class "DIRECTORS STK PLAN (ANNEX) RS UNITS" is treated as the same class as "DIRECTORS STOCK PLAN (ANNEX) RS UNITS" on 4 holding lines, because the two spellings are nearly identical and each balance carried over exactly. Example (Lewis Bernard, 13,815 shares): old title, new title

External context: we only cite outside events when a documented connection exists. None is shown for this period.

Sources and methodology1,976 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 1,976 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for Marsh McLennan (SEC CIK 62709) from Nov 7, 2002 to Sep 3, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 9, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages. 15 filings were left out because Marsh McLennan filed them as an owner of another company's stock. 78 older filings exist only on paper and could not be read.

Holdings. Each holding line (a share class plus an owner, such as a trust or LLC) carries its last reported balance forward. Entities first reported during the period start at zero, so transfers between an insider's own trusts don't count as selling. Lines not reported for three years or more are listed separately and left out of totals.

Sales. A sale counts as under a 10b5-1 plan if its footnote cites one or the filing's Rule 10b5-1 box is checked, and as tax-related if its footnote cites tax obligations or sell-to-cover. Shares withheld by the company for taxes are listed separately. Sales with neither attribute are labeled "no plan disclosed".
