Citic, Haitong, Guosen probed on alleged margin-trading breaches

hina’s securities regulator is investigating Citic Securities CCo., Haitong Securities Co. and Guosen Securities Co. over alleged breaches of rules on margin and short-selling contracts. The China Securities Regulatory Commission probes involve contracts the three brokerages signed with clients on margin finances and short-selling, according to exchange filings by the companies Sunday. The firms said their operations will remain normal and they will cooperate with the regulator. Shares of Chinese brokerages led a decline in China stocks on Friday, with Citic down by the 10 percent daily limit in Shanghai. Haitong shares dropped 3.8 percent before trading was suspen- ded in Hong Kong. Both companies said they received notices from the CSRC on Nov. 26 about the probes. Guosen Securities closed 10 percent lower on Friday in Shenzhen. The Chinese government has stepped up its clampdown on malpractice in the securities industry after a USD5 trillion stock -market rout this summer. The crackdown since the sell-off has ensnared executives and regulators. The Securities Association of China on Friday banned brokerages from entering into new client contracts that use derivatives to provide financing in stock trading. Citic President Cheng Boming was held for alleged insider tra- ding and leaking information, the state-run Xinhua News Agen- cy reported in September. 30.11.2015 mon
