The Financial Services Authority has issued a stern reminder to hedge funds, arbitragers, and other market activists in the wake of a series of highly speculative reports of imminent buyouts of FTSE 100 companies.

The City regulator has warned all market participants to be careful to ensure that they are not making up stories of takeovers, or sharing information in certain companies, to the disadvantage of the majority of other shareholders.

FSA 'reminder' over speculative buyout reports

Project Turquoise, the share trading system backed by a group of the worlds largest investment banks, will be a hybrid system that allows transactions both on-exchange as well as in dark liquidity pools, where firms offer to buy and sell large blocks of shares away from public sight.

Dark pools emerge in Project Turquoise

Chinas soaring stock market is at risk of a marked correction that could have a knock-on effect on its entire banking system, the OECD said yesterday, adding its voice to a litany of bearish warnings on the countrys share prices.

Chinas stock market faces the threat of a marked correction

Several of Wall Street's biggest investment banks are developing private "stock markets" for shares in companies that don't want the expense or scrutiny of going public.

The phenomenon is the latest challenge to traditional stock markets, and a potentially significant new source of profit for the burgeoning private equity industry. As more and larger companies are being taken private in buyout deals, a private market offers a new way for the private equity owner to cash in some of its investment.

Goldman Sachs, Wall Street's dominant financial institution, has already quietly launched one of these private markets, and several others are understood to be finalising similar plans. Afraid of losing out on trading in companies that might previously have considered a public listing, Nasdaq is also said to be considering launching its own private trading platform.

Goldman leads way by opening up its own private stock market

Chris Hohn, the controversial hedge fund manager behind The Children's Investment Fund, is threatening to set up his own stockbroking firm after accusing some of the investment banks he deals with of leaking information about his trades.

He believes that investment banks use their knowledge of which shares he is buying and selling to make money for their own trading desks. Hohn claimed his fears were shared by several other major fund managers.
