[이코노믹리뷰=노성인 기자] It is reported that NH Investment & Securities CEO Jeong Young-chae has been notified of a three-month suspension of work in relation to the Optimus incident. If the disciplinary proposal is finalized, President Chung will be restricted from employment in the financial sector. A related sanction review committee (sanction review) is scheduled to be held on the 18th.
According to the financial investment industry on the 2nd, the Financial Supervisory Service recently informed of the disciplinary bill to NH Investment & Securities, the largest seller of Optimus Fund, the Korea Securities Depository, and Hana Bank, a trustee. In the process, CEO Jeong Young-chae was reported to have been subject to severe disciplinary sanctions for three months of suspension.
The level of sanctions against executives by the FSS is divided into five stages: caution, caution, warning, reprimand, suspension of work, and recommendation for dismissal. If he is subjected to severe punishment beyond the censure warning, the CEO will be restricted from working consecutively and will not be able to work in the financial sector for 3 to 5 years. Job suspension will be restricted for the next four years and censure warning will be restricted from employment in the financial sector for three years.
NH Investment & Securities is the largest seller of Optimus Fund. According to the results of an interim inspection by the FSS, NH Investment & Securities sold 84% of the original Optimus unrepurchased funds amounting to 432.7 billion won. ▲ Korea Investment & Securities 57.7 billion won (10.37%) ▲ Cape Investment & Securities 14.6 billion won (2.63%) ▲ Daeshin Securities 4.5 billion won (0.81%).
Even if the Financial Investment Inspection Bureau of the Financial Supervisory Service has notified the fiscal disciplinary bill, it may be somewhat mitigated by the grand trial system involving external members in the sanctions review. The disciplinary level for some CEOs has been reduced in the previous sanctions review on Lime Fund vendors.
NH Investment & Securities said, “The level of disciplinary action of the FSS sanctions and whether it has been notified in advance has not been confirmed.”
Meanwhile, CEO Jung Young-chae has been decided to serve two years in a row until March next year at the general shareholders’ meeting held in March last year.
