                    [Title] => Singapore broker to resume trading RP stocks
                    [Summary] => Singapore-based OCBC Securities has joined the bandwagon of foreign stockbrokers expressing interest to resume their operations at the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) following the decision of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to put a stop to voluntary suspensions.


But instead of reactivating its Philippine office, OCBC, which went on voluntary suspension this year, indicated it would rather operate off-site, or through an online trading scheme where it would take and executive orders electronically from its Singapore headquarters.

                    [Summary] => Just days after the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) passed a resolution putting a halt to the voluntary suspension of stock brokers at the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE), at least four foreign brokers are now ready to reconsider their earlier decisions and operate anew.


Jose Aquino, director of the SEC’s market regulation department, said the four foreign brokers – Nomura Securities, Magnum International Securities, Keppel Securities and SG Securities – have indicated they would return to active trading by renewing their annual fees for brokers/dealers.

In an en banc resolution, the SEC said registered brokers/dealers shall no longer be allowed to go under voluntary suspension, closing the door for other brokerage houses to go on leave at the PSE floor.


The last broker to apply for voluntary suspension was HSBC Securities, the local stock brokerage unit of the Hong Kong-based financial giant.

                    [Summary] => The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will make it even harder for brokerage companies to voluntarily suspend their operations at the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE).


In a draft resolution, the SEC said it would no longer allow brokers to go on voluntary suspension, which means either they continue to operate – even at a loss – or cease their operations entirely and apply for re-registration if the need arises later.
