Selling in Antipa, page-32

Might have been a separate bot company acting on behalf of Newcrest which is no longer required and so sold remaining shares separate to the main holding. If so could go up from now.

This is the information from my broker website in the UK which I think suggests it would be illegal. That’s not to say it doesn’t happen though:

Unlike banks, investment firms like IG are required to separate client money and assets from their own resources. This means that we’re not allowed to use them in the course of our business activities, and that client money and assets are completely ring-fenced and protected in the unlikely event that we became insolvent.

We’re authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The FCA have strict regulatory requirements, known as the client money and client assets rules (found in the Client Assets Sourcebook – CASS), which govern exactly what we can do and how we must do it.
