THE Financial Services Board has taken the unusual step of inviting investors who may have been prejudiced by insider trading to claim compensation from its arsenal of funds from fines imposed. The Insider Trading Directorate of the FSB, which was set up a year ago to stamp out the crime of profiting from privileged information, said in a statement that it had R1,7-million to hand back to aggrieved investors. The amount paid to investors, who could prove that they have been penalised, depends on the amounts recovered from fines imposed and the number of claimants qualifying for compensation.
