SEC员工在证券案件中公开执行诉讼之前出售了股票。bob200体育

彭博社报告说,根据一项新研究,在公司正在调查的公司中拥有股票的美国证券和交易专员雇员比其他投资者更有可能在监管机构bob200体育宣布执行诉讼之前的几个月出售其股票。埃默里大学会计教授,该研究的合着者之一Shivaram Rajgopal说,即使发现并不是不当行为的证明,也似乎有一种可疑的行为模式。

佐治亚州立大学博士生Rajgopal和合着者Roger M. White通过根据《信息自由法》提出的要求从SEC获得了记录。Unfortunately, because individuals weren’t named, it was impossible to figure out whether the agency employees who traded were in jobs that might have given them insider knowledge about a pending action, and whether the action could lower stock prices, or if money was lost or made in the transactions.

从2010年8月开始,SEC道德规范禁止员工在正在调查的公司中出售或购买股票。他们还必须在交易前获得许可,不能在SEC直接监管的任何金融公司交易,并且通常必须持有六个月才购买的任何股票,然后再出售。

怀特(White)和拉吉帕尔(Rajgopal)研究了2009年的7,200份记录的交易,即委员会的大多数员工都必须开始通知该机构的交易和投资,直到2011年。根据他们获得的SEC数据,委员会员工拥有股份。摩根大通公司(JPM),通用电气公司(GE),花旗集团(C),,,,美国银行公司(BAC),约翰逊和约翰逊在SEC之前的三个月内进行了87股股票,宣布两家公司已同意解决执法索赔。

As an example, prior to the SEC’s announcement that Bank of America would pay $150 million in 2010 to resolve securities claims that it misled shareholders about losses and bonuses while Merrill Lynch (MER) was acquired, over 70% of SEC employee trades were sell orders. Rajgopal noted that while some of the sales may have been done to comply with ethics rules regarding prohibited stocks, the timing was questionable.

The co-authors, offering a broader analysis of all the trades, noted that profits typically didn’t come from selecting stocks but were from excess returns, which seemed to be a result of selling shares that later dropped in value in relation to the wider market. Rajgopal and White say that this could mean that SEC employees may have sold shares belonging to companies they knew were under investigation even if the probe had not yet been made public.
