唯品會股東在紐約起訴高盛和大摩,指控拋售股票涉嫌內幕交易
知名投行高盛集團和摩根士丹利被中概股唯品會的股東們起訴。
據彭博10月13日報道,唯品會的股東在美國紐約聯邦法庭起訴高盛集團和摩根士丹利,指控這兩家華爾街投行機構在Archegos資本管理出現爆倉事件期間大單拋售唯品會股票的行爲涉嫌內幕交易,因爲Archegos可能無法追加保證金屬於未經披露的信息。
今年3月,由韓國的對衝基金經理Bill Hwang運作的家族投資基金Archegos Capital,創下“人類史上最大單日虧損”。Archegos通過借入資金對一些上市公司進行集中持股,總金額超過1000億美元。隨着所持部分股票大跌,其3月份出現爆倉,從而引發了銀行的追加保證金通知。
隨後銀行強行平掉了Hwang的持倉。截至3月26日合計虧掉150億美元(約合人民幣984億元),並導致騰訊音樂、愛奇藝、唯品會、跟誰學、百度等多隻中概股遭到血洗,股價巨幅震盪。
據悉,唯品會投資者向美國紐約聯邦法院提起了這一訴訟。訴狀稱,在祕密獲悉Bill Hwang的家族理財辦公室可能無法滿足追加保證金的要求之後,這兩家投行巨頭數次大筆出售Archegos所持公司的股份。這樣的拋售令唯品會的股票陷入“完全失控”狀態。
高盛和摩根士丹利均沒有對此置評。
就在前幾天,美國證券交易委員會(SEC)對Archegos爆倉事件中該公司是否進行了市場操縱展開調查。
據知情人士透露,SEC正在審查該公司的交易活動,包括其是否隱瞞對一些上市公司的押注規模。當局正評估Archegos在幾家銀行購買同一家公司股份,是否爲了避免觸發公開信息披露規定。總體而言,Hwang的頭寸很大。
SEC啓動調查通常只是一個初步步驟,並不意味着尚未被指控有不當行爲的Hwang將面臨執法行動。
包括瑞信集團、野村控股和摩根士丹利在內的貸款銀行損失超過100億美元,並引發內部調查和高管被迫離職。與此同時,監管機構正在討論是否修改讓Hwang這樣的家族理財室免除更嚴格監管的規定。
SEC主席Gary Gensler5月份告訴國會稱,在Archegos爆倉事件後,可能需要對投資公司實施更嚴格的信息披露法規。他後來表示計劃公開披露更多行業數據。美國司法部也啓動了對該公司爆倉的調查。
