Why stock-plunges happen so often in HK
We explain the 20-year history to a statutory loophole which keeps investors in the dark on share pledges. (24-Jan-2019)
Webb-site upgrades CCASS Analysis, spotlights share pledges
New features in the Webb-site CCASS Analysis System (WCAS) allow investors and regulators to see the largest daily CCASS movements across the market and the history of large moves in each stock and by each broker. Movements of large blocks into CCASS or between brokers without a corresponding transaction often indicate a pledging of shares for loans, which are not disclosed due to inadequate law and Listing Rules. (19-Dec-2017)
SFC fines Schroder Investment Management HK$1.8m for disclosure failures
SFC, 15-Jun-2016
Schroder failed to include in its disclosures of interests shares in client portfolios for which it did not have proxy voting rights. 236 corrected notices were filed in early 2013, but the filings for 2005-2010 remain uncorrected because of different storage formats and systems.

Court dismisses appeal by Lam Fai Man, ex-Dep Ch of Victory Group (1139)
SFC, 9-Dec-2015
Comment: there is an overdue law amendment to remove the requirement to file with the company, which can subscribe to notifications from the Stock Exchange like anyone else. One filing with SEHK should be enough.
SFC v Lam Fai Man (fka Lin Huiwen)
HK Court of First Instance, 8-Dec-2015
Mr Lam loses his appeal of conviction for failing to file disclosures of interests with the company (although filings were made with SEHK). He was Deputy Chairman of Victory Group (1139) until 7-Jun-2013 when his re-election was vetoed at the AGM. We have no evidence that he resigned in Apr-2013 as stated in paragraph 82(4) and 82(15) of the judgment.

Red paint thrown at pair after firms go to court
HK Standard, 10-Dec-2010
Proposed law sells HK short
If the Government consulted the public on a speed limit of 50km/h, then set it at 4km/h, wouldn't you wonder why? That's what the SFC has done after a consultation which from the outset was a solution in search of a non-existent problem. We call on the SFC to withdraw or amend its proposed filing requirements for 0.02% short positions and to focus with Government on filling the gap in the existing law by requiring public disclosure of short positions, including derivatives, at the same level as long positions, currently 5%. What do you think? Take our poll! (7-Mar-2010)
SDI breaches go dark at SFC
The SFC has quietly stopped disclosing details of successful prosecutions for failure to disclose shareholdings, including the name of the offender and the company involved. This is important information for investors, and we urge them to reinstate it. We also look at its questionable and inconsistent policy of redacting names from historic press releases. (6-Oct-2009)

Disclosure of Pledges
After recent one-day crashes in several stocks, there is renewed focus on the need to disclose share pledges. Some, including the CEO of HKEx, have suggested that this can be dealt with in the Listing Rules. But they are missing the point - HKEx has no jurisdiction over shareholders. There is a simple solution - remove the exemption of banks and brokers from the disclosure law. (7-Sep-2004)
