Market Manipulation

[edit]

Citadel Securities has a longstanding history of being charged with, fined for, and accused of market manipulation. Since 2007 the firm has been fined more than $348 Million (cumulative) [1] globally in relation to violation of laws and regulations.

Here are some examples of fines from the SEC:

  • SEC Charges Citadel Securities for Violating Order Marking Requirements of Short Sale Regulations. [2] $7 million.

“Compliance with the order marking requirements of Reg SHO is a key component of regulatory efforts to curtail abusive market practices, including ‘naked’ short selling,” said Mark Cave, Associate Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement. “This action against Citadel Securities demonstrates that a broker-dealer’s failure to comply with the requirements of Reg SHO can have negative downstream consequences on the accuracy of the firm’s electronic records, including its electronic blue sheet reporting, depriving the Commission of important information about the markets it regulates.”

  • Citadel Securities Paying $22 Million for Misleading Clients About Pricing Trades [3]. $22.6 million.

"Citadel Securities made misleading statements suggesting that it would provide or try to get the best prices it saw for retail orders routed by other broker-dealers," said Stephanie Avakian, Acting Director of the SEC Enforcement Division. "Internalizers can't suggest they are doing one thing yet do another when it comes to pricing trades."

  • Three Broker-Dealers to Pay More Than $6 Million in Penalties for Providing Deficient Blue Sheet Data [4] $3.5 million.

"Citadel, the largest provider of blue sheet data of the firms charged today, submitted incorrect data for nearly 80 million trades . . . None of the firms had adequate processes designed to validate the accuracy of its submissions . . . The SEC’s orders also found that Citadel, Natixis, and MUFG willfully violated the broker-dealer books and records and reporting provisions. The firms admitted the findings in the SEC’s cease and desist orders and agreed to be censured and to pay penalties"

Please note the above list is not an exhaustive list of fines Citadel Securities has paid to the SEC. For further information see the SEC website. Atolson1 (talk) 22:45, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think this content is vitally important to any readers who come to this article as it will help them to understand that Citadel Securities has been charged, fined, and accused of market manipulation many, many times in recent years. I am not sure if InvestorTurf is a wikipedia allowed website source. Do you happen to have any other sources where this information is available? The SEC.gov links are great source documents and I think they provide great context around the allegations, charges, and fines. Alecmvqb (talk) 22:54, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As of February 2023, the Hong Kong based subsidiary of Citadel Securities was designated as a "qualified foreign institutional investor" or QFII, by the Chinese government, giving the company more access to mainland China's bond and stock markets.[8]
In June 2023, Citadel Securities became active in corporate debt trading and introduced investment-grade trading to clients.[9]

Updates to History and Intro sections

[edit]

Hi. I have a few requests to update the page, as follows:

  • In the 2011-2019 section of the History section, please add the following sentence and source right after the first sentence of the third paragraph that begins: "By 2015 Citadel Securities had become…"
In 2016, the company opened a new office in Sydney, Australia.[1]
  • At the end of the History section, please update the heading to 2022-2024 and add the following as a new paragraph:
In June 2024, the company began trading Euro and Sterling interest-rate swaps. Citadel Securities grew its existing 120-person global rates team in London and Paris to support the expansion, and named Paris as the firm's trading hub for European rates.[2]
  • Please add that Peng Zhao became the CEO in 2016 into the Introduction, after the second paragraph:
Peng Zhao, who joined the company in 2006, has been the CEO since 2017.[3]
  • Please add language to the first sentences of the Introduction to clarify what it is that a "market making" firm does, and to add to the list of activities the company is engaged in. The first two sentences of the Introduction therefore should be as follows:
Citadel Securities LLC is an American market making firm providing liquidity and trade execution to retail and institutional clients, headquartered in Miami.[4][5][6] The firm also trades futures, equities, credit, options, currencies, and Treasury bonds.
