Intermediary financial institutions strive for market stabilisation
A new State Securities Commission (SSC) directive is calling for intermediary financial institutions to work closely with administrative and management bodies involved with securities trading to ensure the stabilisation of the stock market.
The SSC asked brokerage houses to strictly implement the move of investors' accounts to commercial banks, as well as review institutional investment capital to reduce risk in securities trading.
"In addition, the firms need to promote analysis and consultancy, providing investors with reasonable guidelines for their investment," the SSC said in the report.
The firms were also asked to limit the extent of securities repossessions and securities derivative methods, it added.
Fund management companies were ordered to strengthen internal supervision and risk management.
"The companies must also follow Securities Law in defining the net value of investment funds, as well as the total value of investment portfolios trusted by investors," said the document.
The same requirement was stressed on commercial banks who do securities deposits and supervision.
In emergency cases, institutions were told to inform the commission for timely action.
"The commission will also enhance inspection and apply strict punishment to violators," the document stated.
