Hong Kong regulator flags companies with concentrated share ownership

The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) in Hong Kong has increased its scrutiny of companies with highly concentrated share ownership. This year, the SFC has flagged 13 such cases, nearing the total of 15 from the previous year. This focus highlights concerns about potential stock volatility in small- and mid-cap companies where a few shareholders control a large portion of the issued shares, making them susceptible to sharp price swings due to small trades.
