MAS reprimands JPMorgan Singapore for contravening laws
JPMORGAN Singapore on Wednesday was reprimanded by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) for contraventions of the Securities and Futures Act (SFA) and the Financial Advisers Act (FAA).

It had also permitted four representatives - who were not appointed, provisional or temporary representatives - to deal in securities and fund management on its behalf in the same period.
Separately, MAS reprimanded an individual named Ulysses Lau for contravening the SFA.
