Mark Steward, the head of enforcement at the SFC who some in Hong Kong see as a candidate to replace Margaret Cole in the same position at the UK regulator, said on Sunday that Mega Capital’s failures echoed those found at a number of sponsors in last year’s inspection report into the IPO market.
香港证监会执法部执行董事马克•斯图尔德(Mark Steward)周日表示，兆丰资本的失误，与去年对IPO市场的检查报告所述大量保荐人存在的问题类似。香港有人士认为，马克•斯图尔德是取代英国金融服务管理局(FSA)执法部主管玛格丽特•科尔(Margaret Cole)的人选。
“Given the important role played by sponsors, these failures must be regarded most grimly,” he said. “The sanctions imposed on Mega Capital should make it clear that the SFC condemns such failure in the strongest terms.”
斯图尔德表示：“考虑到保荐人的重要性，这些失误必须得到最严肃的处理。对兆丰资本的处罚应当表明，SFC以最强烈的方式谴责此类失误。”
The SFC found no evidence that Mega Capital was involved in any fraud and took into account Mega Capital otherwise had a clean record. It added that Mega Capital denied all allegations of wrongdoing.
SFC没有发现兆丰资本卷入欺诈的证据，并且考虑到了兆丰资本在其他方面的记录良好。SFC补充道，兆丰资本否认了所有不当行为指控。
