MAS to tighten guidelines on sale of structured products
Channel NewsAsia - 1 hour 30 minutes ago
SINGAPORE: The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) is looking into tightening the rules for the sale of complex investment products.
These could include having guidelines on the advertising materials of such products, MAS deputy chairman Lim Hng Kiang told Parliament on Monday.
MAS will issue a public consultation on the proposals to review the guidelines by mid—March.
On the resolution of the sale of structured products linked to bankrupt Lehman Brothers, Mr Lim said that overall, a "fair" result was obtained.
He added that MAS is investigating whether the financial institutions that sold the products did due diligence in the sale of the products.
But as such investigations are still ongoing, Mr Lim said it was not appropriate to comment further on the matter.
He also gave an update on the Lehman—linked Pinnacle Notes, which faced early redemption. 471 complaints have been received so far, he said.
Former MP Hwang Soo Jin, who oversaw the minibonds resolution process for stockbroking firms as an independent party, will help in the Pinnacle Notes resolution procedure.
