Revocation process and fair hearing….

The Securities and Exchange Commission has justified revocation of the 55 Fund management firms insist everyone was given fair hearing.

The assurance is coming after the Commission was accused by Blackshield Capital of bias and unfair treating.

But speaking to ahead of PM EXPRESS on Tracking Revocation Process, Director-General Reverend Daniel Obgame Tetteh said the process has been fair to all the firms, insisting that everything was done to ensure that everyone one that had a case was heard.

The Securities and Exchange commission last year withdrew the licenses of some fund management firms in the country over their failure to meet market target, regulations and liquidity concerns.

According to him, they have put measures in place to ensure that “we don’t get back to this current challenge experienced.”

He said this will be done by reviewing supervision of the capital market.
