    CHANGES to the Securities and Futures Act (SFA), announced this week, are set to make it easier for regulators to prosecute cases of market misconduct and insider trading - with a case in point being that involving air cargo firm Airocean some years ago.

    Among the changes to the SFA that were passed into law on Monday was a section on strengthening the enforcement regime against market misconduct.
