John Jude Jones, Chief Marketing Officer of Marsh & McLennan Companies, sold 6,500 shares of $MRSH stock on August 6, 2026, according to a Form 4 filed with the SEC on August 7. The shares were sold on the open market at an average price of $191.96 per share, yielding total proceeds of $1,247,723. Following the transaction, Jones directly held 1,478 shares.
Jones's sale was the fourth open-market insider disposition of $MRSH stock disclosed in a two-week window. On July 23, Director Lloyd M. Yates sold 12,000 shares at $175.65 each for $2,107,800. On July 28, Chief Client Officer Martin South sold 7,100 shares at $189.99 each for $1,348,947. On July 29, VP Paul Beswick sold 713 shares at $198.00 each for $141,174. Combined, the four insiders sold approximately $4.85 million worth of $MRSH stock between July 23 and August 6.
The cluster included two C-suite executives—the Chief Marketing Officer and the Chief Client Officer—as well as a board director and a vice president. The individual transactions ranged in size from 713 shares to 12,000 shares.
Jones had previously sold $MRSH stock on March 11, 2026, when he disposed of 2,362 shares at $173.61 per share for $410,067. After that earlier sale, he reported direct ownership of 7,978 shares. The two Form 4 filings in the database for Jones show his reported holdings declining from 7,978 shares following the March sale to 1,478 shares after the August transaction.
$MRSH shares closed at $193.29 on August 6. The stock moved from $172.14 on July 1 to above $193 in early August, an increase of roughly 12% over the five-week period that encompassed all four insider sales.
Congressional trading records show that Representative Ro Khanna, a California Democrat, traded $MRSH stock eleven times between January and May 2026, alternating between purchases and sales. Each transaction carried a midpoint estimate of either $1,001 or $15,001, reflecting the bracketed disclosure ranges required under the STOCK Act. Khanna's most recent $MRSH trade was a purchase on May 27, with disclosure following on June 9.
The Form 4 covering Jones's August 6 sale was filed the next day, on August 7, a disclosure lag of one day.
