Thursday, May 27, 2021

SEBI is considering the concept of institutional investor-only initial public offerings (IPOs) to shield small investors from presumably risky issues by new-age technology and e-commerce firms.

Banning direct retail participation and mandatory “safety net” are some of the concepts being discussed, according to the sources. Domestic IPOs, typically, have two broad equal quotas for institutional and non-institutional investors. The non-institutional portion is further split 70:30 between retail (those investing up to Rs 2 lakh) and high net-worth individuals (those investing more than Rs 2 lakh). Read more

Jack Ma's blunt words just cost him $35 billion

Jack Ma's blunt words just cost him $35 billion

Wednesday, November 4, 2020

Two weeks ago, Ma opined on China’s banking system at a high-profile financial forum in Shanghai, throwing himself into the eye of the storm. In that speech, apart from labeling the global banking Basel Accords as an “old people’s club,” Ma said “systemic risk” is not the issue in China. Rather, China’s biggest risk is that it “lacks a financial ecosystem.” Chinese banks are like “pawn shops”, where and guarantees are the hard currencies. As a result, some decided to go so big they are not allowed to fail. “As the Chinese like to say, if you borrow 100,000 yuan from the bank, you are a bit scared; if you borrow a million yuan, both you and the bank are a little nervous; but if you take a 1 billion yuan loan, you are not scared at all, the bank is,” Ma said.
