The three wise
monkeys of HK boards
SEHK has proposed minor reforms to the
composition of boards which completely miss the core issue - INEDs are only as
independent and competent as the controlling shareholder wants them to be, as
long as he or it votes on the INED elections. We call for independent directors
to be independently-elected. Tell us what you think!. Read our article
and then take our poll on INEDs. (15-Feb-2011)

Prudential's de facto
delisting
We look at the evaporating puddle of liquidity in the
dual-primary HK listing of Prudential Plc, now down to 0.08% of the company. 95%
of it has drained away since last year's listing. Meanwhile, the much-trumpeted
secondary listing of Brazilian iron ore giant Vale has almost dried up too, now
down to 0.02% of the company. (15-Feb-2011)
