  • B3 Transfers Equities to Its Multi-Asset Clearing Platform
    Press release 29 August 2017 B3 transfers equities to its multi-asset clearing platform Cinnober’s real-time clearing solution now handles post trading process for both the equities and the derivatives markets in Brazil • BRL 21 billion of collateral returned to the market (approx. USD 6,4 billion) • Phase two completed of major Post-Trade Integration Project going from two clearinghouses to one for equities and derivatives • More efficient risk management by analyzing the risk on entire portfolios B3 (the Brazilian exchange and clearinghouse) successfully launched on Monday the equities, corporate bonds, and equities lending markets on its new multi-asset clearing platform. The clearing solution is delivered by Cinnober, built on its TRADExpress RealTime Clearing system. The migration of the equities clearinghouse was the target for phase two of B3’s Post-Trade Integration Project that will consolidate B3’s originally four clearinghouses into one integrated entity (managing equities, derivatives, government and corporate debt securities and FX). Derivatives and OTC products were the first to launch on the new platform in phase one. With the new integrated clearinghouse, B3 manages risk more efficiently. By analyzing the risk on entire portfolios, the clearinghouse can compensate if an investor has opposite positions in the same underlying asset across product groups and markets. When financial and commodity derivatives, along with OTC products, migrated to the new clearinghouse in phase one, the total systemic benefit in terms of margin release amounted to around BRL 20 billion. The estimated effect from Monday’s launch of phase two is BRL 21 billion of collateral that was returned to the market with complete preservation of the clearinghouse’s safety system.

    The Journal of Applied Business Research – September/October 2017 Volume 33, Number 5 The Effect Of Corporate Governance On Unfaithful Disclosure Designation And Unfaithful Disclosure Penalty Points Bo Young Moon, Dankook University, South Korea Soo Yeon Park, Korea University, South Korea ABSTRACT This paper investigates the relation between Unfaithful Disclosure Corporations (“UDC”) and corporate governance using listed firm (KOSPI and KOSDAQ) data in Korea. Prior literature reports that corporate governance has an impact on the level of disclosure and the quality of disclosure provided by companies. However, it is hard to find the studies about corporate governance and UDC at the term of disclosure quality. Compare to some financially advanced countries, Korea established corporate governance in a relatively short period of time; hence concerns have been raised the corporate governance have not played effective role to monitor management. We question how corporate governance affects companies’ unfaithful disclosure by using several corporate governance proxy variables and UDC data which is unique system in Korea. From the empirical tests, we find a negative association between the proportion of outside directors, an indicator of the board’s independence, and UDC designation, among companies listed on both KOSPI and KOSDAQ. On the other hand, there is a significant positive association between the proportion of outside directors and UDCs’ imposed and accumulated penalty points among KOSDAQ-listed companies. This implies that outside director system effectively play a monitoring role however due to different natures of members included in outside directors, the system often fails to control regarding based reasons for penalty points imposition. In addition, we find the percentage of foreign equity ownership showed statistically significant positive association with UDC designation and a significant positive association with the imposed and accumulated penalty points among KOSPI-listed companies.

  • Does the Market React Differently to Chaebol Firms?
    The Journal of Applied Business Research – September/October 2014 Volume 30, Number 5 Does The Market React Differently To Chaebol Firms? Heejin Park, Hanyang University, South Korea Jinsoo Kim, Hanyang University, South Korea Mihye Ha, Hanyang University, South Korea Sambock Park, Hanyang University, South Korea ABSTRACT Based on a sample of Korean firms listed on the KOSPI and KOSDAQ from 2001 to 2011, we examined whether the affiliation of a firm with a Chaebol group affects the sensitivity of stock prices to earnings surprises. We found that the market response to positive (negative) earnings surprises is more positive (negative) for Chaebol firms than for non-Chaebol firms. In addition, we investigated how intra-group transactions affect the ERCs of Chaebol firms by comparing with those of non-Chaebol firms. Our results show that the intra-group transactions of Chaebol firms are positively related to ERCs under both positive and negative earnings surprises. However, we did not find the same results from the analyses of non-Chaebol firms. Keywords: Chaebol Firms; Earnings Response Coefficient (ERC); Earnings Surprises; KOSPI; KOSDAQ 1. INTRODUCTION he aim of this study is to examine how differently the market reacts to earnings surprises of Chaebol firms compared to those of non-Chaebol firms. Although there is no official definition of Chaebol, T firms are perceived as Chaebol if they consist of a large group and operate in many different industries, maintain substantial business ties with other firms in their group, and are controlled by the largest shareholder as a whole. The definition used to identify Chaebol firms is that of a large business group established by the Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) and a group of companies of which more than 30% of the shares are owned by the group’s controlling shareholders and its affiliated companies.
