HSBC Fined in Hong Kong
The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) in Hong Kong has fined HSBC bank $2.5 million and given them a reprimand. This follows after SFC investigated into the holding of HSBC of open positions in Hang Seng China Enterprises Index futures and options contracts in breach of the limit on 18 occasions from 26 May to 1st August 2014.
In deciding the penalty, the SFC has taken into account that HSBC has since taken steps to improve its internal controls on monitoring of position limit and co-operated with the SFC.
